Why does the tool app have to be a community?

non-famous programmers

The rapid development of mobile Internet, so that the application of the market on the number of hundreds of millions of tools, tool-like apps, I saw a problem that day, that is: Why Tool-based apps, whether useful or useless, like to add a community? Of course, the following answers are also multifarious. And their answer is very correct, very in place.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, tool-like app, just a tool-based thing, only the user in the use of it, will be remembered to open, then the problem comes: just tools, that type of application software every day to start the user is relatively few, the old users are rarely to open, so need to add community this exchange of things, Increase the user's viscosity, improve app usage, let users form a dependency, develop a habit. Tool functions to solve some user problems, for some in-depth, personalized problems, the best solution for mutual food between users.

However, I really like the answer of one of the users: every tool-making person has a platform heart. Indeed, in the mixed-use market, how to make their own software fire up, and live is very difficult, especially to do the tool class app.

A few days ago, I saw a speech saying: "The app is dead, service eternal life, although I do not agree with the first half of the sentence, but the second sentence is very right." This is also a tool-like app development and survival of a portal. That is to do the tools first, then cut into the service. Tools are the foundation, service is the pursuit, which is suitable for the entrepreneurs to do the app, which is actually the voice of users.

The tool is just user-friendly, service is the real service users, such as you do a calculator app, the user only when there is a calculation to open it, use it, then you add the accounting function in this calculator, coupled with the calculation of fuel consumption function, it is not the user will increase more? That may be you will say: add these features, but also the function of the tool, yes, it is, but if you add the relevant accounting services near the accounting function, plus the related financial services, so you can profit, pull financial related articles and add some financial functions, fuel consumption function is the same reason, From fuel consumption to car-related services. This may not be an appropriate example, but the rationale is very correct.

Free is a good business model, but the premise is that your product has a lot of performance of users, do a tool app only two, there are only two simple purpose: to help users solve problems and make money. The tool is to help the user solve the problem, service is to make money.

In fact, to do a tool of the app, the most essential and most should be focused on doing a good product, the product to do the experience, and powerful, this is the hard truth, rather than how to run the community to do traffic monetization.

So through my analysis, the tools of the app does not have to add the community, as long as the product is well done, tools and services can achieve the purpose you want, that is, through the app to achieve profitability. Good tool and service is the King of product survival.
