1) Focus on connecting & communication:

The Gen Z has an innate need of staying connected and be interactive online. Thus, building an app with in-app communication wherein they can stay connected with the network without leaving the app and disrupting the other channel would benefit a lot.

2) Intuitive and responsive UI/UX design:

Setting your app with simple design and known icons will add to the cause of being fast. Keep the app away from any complex features, functionalities and also keep it simple to use it without any user manual or instruction guide.

3) Bug-free app:

Though providing an appealing user-interface and cutting-edge design elements with seamless navigation will guarantee to attract your future target audience. But also make sure to fix the bugs and update and improve the app with code quality and regular testing.

4) Less is more; in terms of size:
