How should a Fantasy Cricket App be developed to become popular?
Well, there are several aspects to bear in mind while developing a Fantasy Cricket App. The most prominent ones are discussed below.
Home Screen
Every time the user opens an app, it is the home screen that they see first. So, it is vital to design the home screen in such a way that it is self-explanatory and attractive.
Contest screen
Users need to know about the contests that are going on for them to participate and win. So, the contest screen must have all the essential information about the contests, including the winning amount, entry fee, etc.
Live scores
Users should be able to monitor the real-time scores. So, the app should notify users on live scores through SMS or push notifications.
Referral bonus
You should first be clear of the fact that in order to expand your business, you need to expand your user base. This increases the popularity level of your business and also the revenue being generated. So, make sure to give referral bonuses or rewards for successful referrals. For those who do not know what a successful referral is, when you refer the app to someone and they install it, that referral is considered to be successful. This encourages users to refer your app to someone who might like it.
Dashboards for better management
This is a must-have feature for the benefit of the users as well as the admins. This feature allows them to manage the matches as well as the players. Users should also be able to create new tournaments or join the existing ones.
Fantasy Cricket Software Development
To achieve a better gaming experience, it is essential to incorporate cutting-edge technologies. Moreover, the software behind the app should be snag-free. This helps in experiencing lag-free gaming. So, pay extra attention while developing and testing the software that best suits your requirements. Direct your focus towards offering ease of customization and accessibility.
Tax management
Effective management of taxes is necessary. So, the app should allow the admins to manage taxes with ease. Activating National Tax System is recommended.
Real-time Analytics
This helps the admins get detailed and informative reports on the performance of the application. These reports should be comprehensible and downloadable. They play a significant role in making data-driven decisions.
In-app Messaging
This in-app chat feature allows the users to communicate within the app. This helps in maintaining an active community of like-minded people. Through in-app messages, players can discuss their experiences with the app. In addition, this makes the app a lot more enjoyable and fun.
