Creating an innovative and popular iPhone App has become all the rage for many up-and-coming entrepreneurs (and business owners) and I certainly must applaud their efforts.  My software development company receives multiple inquiries every day from people with ingenious ideas that they want to develop into iPhone apps.

Obviously, there are millions of such ideas out there, but very few streak to the top of the charts and create great wealth.  As professional iPhone developers, we do everything in our power to explain the nuances of app development and the mobile app industry.  We’re passionate about understanding the reality of mobile app development and sharing what it takes to achieve success.

Some of the most frequent questions I field can be generally characterized into what I call “iPhone App Development Myths”.   These are things that have come to be commonly accepted beliefs and need to be seriously addressed … not as the proverbial “bitter pill” … but more like a good straight dose of ordinary reality.

Five iPhone App Myths I Hear Everyday:

• The Equity Partnership – Free iPhone Development – Myth
• App Development Costs under $1000 – Myth
• iPhone Do It Yourself (DIY) Development Tool – Myth
• Marketing my iPhone App is Not Necessary – Myth
• Software Development – Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA) – Myth
  

The App Store has made many people millionaires, but unfortunately even more have spent a lot of time and money with little or no reward.  The last thing I want to do is to discourage anyone from following their dreams.   At the very least, I do want people to know that it will require a tremendous amount of tenacity to make your idea work.

With all that being said, I would be happy to discuss your specific iPhone App idea with you to see how we can help make it successful.  I know many brilliant developers that can build practically anything.   I’ve also participated in the marketing efforts of a few apps that have skyrocketed to success.   Feel free to contact me at [email protected] if there is anything I can do to help you achieve a similar success.
