Not the idea but the execution makes your app unique

Intro An idea based on the problem existing in the market may sound like a profitable deal but once you start looking for similar apps on the app store, you will find various similar apps already existing. You may realize that your app idea is not unique and there would have been many others who worked on the same concept. Well, don’t be disheartened! Out of the 2.9 million apps up till 2019, there is quite a possibility that you find a similar app on the app store whenever you think of an idea.

What makes your App unique?

In such a situation, it is important for you to realize that it is not important that your app idea should be unique, in fact, it is completely alright if the concept of your app is the same as what you thought about. If you pay attention closely, you will always ďŹ nd some of the other similarities between the apps. Imagine apps like Ola & Uber or Zomato or Swiggy, aren’t they similar in terms of their concept? However, the functionalities and features make them different from each other. While each app has a set of its own advantages and drawbacks, it is necessary for you to understand where lies your uniqueness.
