Looking To Write An App
-
Well that's the trick. What problem hasn't been solved that an already publicly available app couldn't solve? There are THOUSANDS of apps that solve all manner of "problems'.. but what would catch someone's attention these days?

Write an app that solves a problem YOU have or makes YOUR life/work easier. If you like it and find it useful, others may as well. That's the place to start.

So you're saying that, because his problem is that he doesn't know what app to write, he should swot up on recursion?

Theres FriendFinder, buts it's a dating app. A "which of the people in my circle of friends is near me" app would be the idea

An "Enemyfinder" app would be even more useful :-\ You probably need some neural network technology for this: https://www.slant.co/improve/topics/12109/~websites-to-learn-about-neural-networks[^]

Or spy on your employees/potential rape victims. It's a horrible idea, which would be used more for evil than good -- so there are probably twenty apps like it available already.

Umm, I think you misunderstand. Not that you mind. This app could not do what you think it could.

An app that gives you random ideas for a new app? :laugh:

I have 30+ years of Windows and Web API development experience. Typical Client/Server stuff. I'm now getting into mobile development. What I'd really like is to develop an app to market but I cant think of a real money maker. I have the time and experience but dont really know what to write. Anyone have an idea they want to partner on? PM me, or if you want to drop an idea here, please do. Let's make the next great app and retire

Plan on a "series", like Star Wars or Harry Potter. Activision didn't get rich with "one" game. Small, interesting bites. (The average person uses, what, 10% of Word?) Instead of one, wunderbar app, you'll probably do better selling it off in 10 pieces. Of course, then comes the "Omnibus" edition, etc. (BTW, thanks to all that have been buying mine!) P.S. The world could probably use a "virus" / body temperature detector about now.

How about an app that overloads the phone's transmitter, to make it send out an EMP that disables nearby phones, thereby forcing people to stop playing candy crush and start paying %$&#ing attention?

:thumbsup: Building the app is the easy (or at least the relatively easier) part of the bigger picture. The challenge is in finding the first solution to a business problem that's costing companies millions (or billions). Since you have the experience and skills to build a software product, I recommend seeking a dev/architect position in an early stage company that has (or is close to having) stage 1 funding. The rewards (both professional and monetary) can be significant. I strongly recommend not trying to find solutions to business problems - you won't have time to do any development if you're busy doing that. Just my 2¢. /ravi

1. stop looking on CP for easy answers. 2. stop looking. 2a. stop muttering mantras like "just do it." 2b. ignore what other people say. 3. spend a month with no internet, observing, and writing down, what your friends and co-workers do with net/technology. spend another month with people who do not use net/technology. 4. take a week-long vacation. 5. be prepared for the "answer," to both what and how, appearing suddenly, and seeming as obvious as ... :omg:

I need an app that reads my shopping list and alerts me when I close to it in the mega-store.

Any existing app - that is written / designed poorly - is a candidate. Take a look at any of the available productivity apps in the app store and see which one is horse crap, and is a kind of project you'd enjoy working on.

Sounds very much like the US Patent office deciding everything that was useful, had already been invented. :-) I do agree that finding an application that hadn't been done already and was useful is difficult.
