Let me help you to know what are the different set of questions that businesses ask a mobile app developer.
It was also reported that fitness apps were not very popular in the early days. However, with the launch of Apple watches, fitness bands and other devices it is quite easier to track the activity of workout.
Different types of fitness apps can address different issues. However, the customized fitness app can easily open the doors for different opportunities for gyms, fitness clubs, and even healthcare service providers. So let me help you to know the different fitness apps.
People are very keen on tracking their progress. This means, that when you are working out then the next step is you often look to track your report. This helps users to know where they are falling and how much they have to work upon. Therefore if your app is delivering the benefit of tracking progress then the audience will attract more to your app. On the other hand, ensure that your app is compatible with the devices and apps that users are using. This means if you are using a heart rate monitor then you must ensure that your app can work with such types of devices (the compatible ones). However, if it does not happen then the user can easily switch to another app.
Once you have thought of developing a fitness app then the next is to look at the way how you can monetize it? As this is one of the important steps that you need to take care of and in turn gain revenue. However, the main motive is to look at how you can generate revenue from your app. Therefore here I am enclosing the top ways through which you can monetize your app.
One of the most important steps to consider is to know the different tech stacks required for a fitness app. Hence here I will let you know which tech stack I make use of to build your fitness app.
There are different features with which fitness apps can be developed. Hence here, I will help you to know all of those and I always take command of inbuilt fitness apps at the time of their development.
When you are looking to explain features of your app or guide users then this particular feature is one of the desired ones. It means when users are interacting with your app then you can deliver an onboarding feature (that shows 8- 9 screens aligned with adding a 60second video tutorial.
Allow users to sign up for the app with the help of different social channels. In this way, it is found easier for users to get started with the app. Therefore when I begin with the fitness app features then I ensure to include this particular section where users will have the choice to log in with the help of their social accounts. In this manner, they do not have to log in with their email ID again and again.
Users can easily enter their personal information like name, age, height, weight, gender, and fitness level at the time of creating their profile. These particular features also help me as a developer to match the needs of the users at the time of using a fitness app. On the other hand, the user profile feature also helps them to easily access the subscription plan along with the history of completed exercises, progress, bonuses, and other information.
With the help of a goal, it becomes easier for users to track the activity of their workout sessions. This means if users are using a fitness app then by setting a definite goal they can perform a workout session and in turn, it becomes easier to get started one step ahead of their fitness. Therefore, including the particular features can help users to take advanced benefits.
There are different smart devices like Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi, through which connecting with fitness apps becomes easier. This particular feature can easily help users to track all of their workout activities and keep up with all of their data.
There are different ways through which users can take command of various workout and exercise sessions like photos, 3D animated models, and video illustrations. Therefore with the help of these features, I give commands to users to uplift a wide range of benefits to advance their knowledge. Also in this way more and more people will connect with your app.
Activity tracking can be done in two ways that are smartphone sensors and with the help of integration with any wearable tracker. Fitness apps can help to track all of your data like how many steps you have taken, the number of stairs you have climbed up, the distance travelled and also in which direction you headed off. Besides this, it can track heart rate, sleep quality, or body temperature.
Can easily access a large database of healthy recipes and even products. Along with this users can also analyse the nutrition value. Therefore by implementing a nutrition API it becomes easier to get started with obtaining all necessary information.
Within your app, users will have the choice to create their workouts, meditations, exercise sets, recipes, or diet plans with the help of workout customization features. This particular feature enables users to get attracted to your app easier.
If you want to send any information or if something new is coming, your app must contain a push notification step. Here you can also set the time for reminders or notifications through which you can remind about something important to your customers. Therefore at the time of developing the fitness app, I inbuilt push notification features.
In this feature, users will have the choice to change their profile details (this means passwords, email and other desired information). Hence at the time, I am developing a fitness app to ensure that users can easily access the edit tab to delete the current information and update it with new. Besides this users can also delete their account (the option available in the profile setting).
Do not forget to get your app developed with customer support. Many apps fail to inbuilt these features. Hence I ensure to develop fitness apps with customer support. As per the report it has been found that users appreciate a chat feature as it enables them to solve all of their queries easily. Therefore it is known as one of the most important features to be involved in the app.
Different payment modes that can easily help users to get started with your app are a mandate. Here I ensure to create different payment features that can easily help users to get connected with your app. In this way, it increases the user engagement as well.
There are different steps that I take at the time of building a fitness app. Let me help you to know all of those in detail, so that you can get an idea of my development process.
When it comes to native apps the tech stack used is- Swift and Java/Kotlin as they have full access to all platform hardware, but it might take a long time to get it developed.
React Native, Flutter, and Kotlin Multiplatform are for the cross-platform. Therefore for the cross-platform, different tech stacks are used for the fitness app development.
A progressive web app can be an ideal variant when there is a need to adjust an existing web app or mobile. On the other side when you are looking to build a small platform. However, if you are looking to build a gym app then I do not go with this particular tech.
No code use Appy Pie is considered one of the valuable stacks. It is the low code and no-code platform for mobile apps, apps integration etc.
