Or a home service delivery app. Once this is sorted, you need to identify the pain points which your customers are facing and how you want your app to be designed so that these pain points are solved.

You need to find your target audience for your app. This helps you to understand how the app has to be tailor made for this audience. The local trends also need to be taken into consideration while zeroing into your target audience.
