A simple motivational quotes app sent you words of wisdom every day to cheer you up. It can help you achieve your goal and push your boundaries. 

3. Productivity App

• To-do List

Most people use their mobile phones to do everything, writing notes, capturing pictures of something important, etc. A to-do list app provides a simple solution for putting together a list of things. It’s important to make a list, but we can take a picture of documents, and bills for the reminder as well. To-do lists have hundreds of usages and everyone needs a sophisticated way to create their list. Hiring an experienced mobile app development company could help us with the correct framework for this app. 

• Online Learning Apps

In this economy, upskilling is important. Leaning apps provides solutions to those who wish to learn but don’t know how. We can create a curriculum for a single subject where we can help users with a step-by-step guide on the subject.  

• Screentime Control

We spend 3 hours and 15 minutes of our time using our phones daily. Most people spend more than 5 hours on the phone. We can develop a simple app that could notify users about how much time they spend on certain apps. This way we can motivate people to use them accordingly. 

4. Travel App  

• Local Guide App

There are hundreds of applications that provide information about traveling. However, most of these apps focus on the most popular places. We can build an app that provides information on places most people are unaware of. We can create a community of local users to help us with information and create an ultimate app for finding hidden gems for travelers.  

• Find an Affordable Hotel App

Solo travelers know that finding an affordable hotel is hard. We can rely on traveling websites or hotel booking apps, but they don’t display all of them. Also, hostels and boarding facilities for solo travelers are hard to find. Creating an app that solves this issue will greatly help thousands of travelers.

5. Apps for Women

• Period Tracker

Period tracker apps provide information about the menstrual cycle. By adding information first, anyone can track their period dates. They can adjust their appointments and work. The app can remind them about stocking up on hygiene products too.  

• SOS App

SOS functions are available in every phone in the market but not all of them work effectively. We can create an app where users can share their last location. Send a distress signal, call the helpline or find the nearest police station. We need to hire mobile app developers who have experience with the emergency system and alert works in order to create this app. 

• Makeup Tutorial

Simple and easy makeup tutorials are always in demand. There are thousands of YouTube channels that help with make-up tips but there are no categories or easy ways to find one. We can create a makeup tutorial app that provides simple tips on makeup. From easy touch-ups to heavy makeup routines, we can create different categories and add videos and articles about them. 

6. Entertainment

• Short Video App

Vine and TikTok are one of the most common examples of short video apps. Short videos are such a success that Instagram and YouTube started to compete in the market with their short videos. Creating a short video-sharing app is easy to work but we need to build a community around the app to make it successful. There are a few examples of it where short video apps became an overnight success.   

• Streaming App

Streaming apps are making a wave in the entertainment market and users are loving it. Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Apple, and Disney have created their video streaming apps with millions of users. There is a huge demand for audio and video streaming services with better revenue systems. App development costs can be varied depending on the features you want to add.

7. Healthcare App

• Medication Tracker

A medication tracker can solve one of the most common issues with a simple solution. We can create an app where users can add their medication charts and information about time table of their medication. It will alert the users with a notification to take their medicine. We can integrate it with some of the common pharmacies and send them detailed medical history about medication to directly order it online.  

• Diet Tracker

Dieting is hard and diet planning is complicated and hard to remember. Gone are the days when we can put the diet chart on the fridge and remember to follow it. We can create a simple app that provides diet information and help users set up their diet tracker.
