Hi everyone,

I'm new to mobile app development, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get started. There's so much information out there, and I'm not sure which path to take.

I have a few questions:

  1. Should I focus on building a native app, a hybrid app, or a web app first?
  2. Which programming languages or tools are beginner-friendly but also useful for more advanced apps?
  3. How long does it usually take to develop an app from idea to launch?
  4. What are some common mistakes beginners make in app development that I should avoid?
  5. How can I ensure my app meets user expectations and aligns with current market trends?

I'd really appreciate any advice, tips, or personal experiences from people who have developed mobile apps before.

Thanks in advance!

Getting started with mobile app development can feel overwhelming, but a clear path helps. Beginners should usually start with a hybrid app using frameworks like Flutter or React Native, as they are beginner-friendly and scalable. These tools use Dart or JavaScript, which are easy to learn and powerful. App development can take 2–6 months from idea to launch, depending on complexity. Common mistakes include skipping planning, ignoring UI/UX, and not testing enough. To meet user expectations, study competitors, gather feedback early, and follow trends. Learning from experienced companies like Dev Technosys can also provide practical insights.
