Is There A Market For A Nigerian Social Media App ?? by T007OSH: 3:14pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
Hi All, It might be a little too late as the app I'm developing is almost complete. However, I wanted to know what your thoughts are on a social media app developed specifically for Nigerians. Some of the drivers behind this idea were - I feel lost on some of the social media platforms and sometimes just having a group with similar (naija) interests seems more appealing. - After the Paris terrorist attack there was a lot of talk on social media among Nigerians that Facebook did not provide the Nigerian flag as an overlay after the BH attacks which happened shortly afterwards. I have a strong belief that with our own social media platforms then we can tell the world what is happening on ground when the need arises ?!? Any input + questions will be much appreciated. |

Question: Is there a market for Nigerian social media app? Simple answer: NO. Not to discourage you but there are already so many great social media apps out there with no recognition, and I'm sure there are better ideas to invest time on than a social media app. But Since you are almost thru with your app, don't stop. You can still release it to the public and gradually watch how they respond to it. |

tosinhtml: Thanks for you honesty but I disagree that because there are already good apps out there, there isn't a market for one. There are a lot of other factors that can determine an apps success apart from being a great app. To name a few marketing, budget, uniqueness of concept etc. of course there is the all important 'God' factor or luck for those the don't have such beliefs. I'm already on the playstore but undergoing beta testing. Look forward to seeing how it plays out ![]() 1 Like |

tosinhtml: Of course! On the playstore just search for 'slumbook' That's what its called. Not sure I'm allowed to post the link here and don't want to be kicked off. Any feedback will be great 1 Like 1 Share |

T007OSH: I just checked It out, I personally think the app is Cool & fun to use!, but noticed 2 things 1. Could you reduce the size of the apk (29MB is quite large) ...perhaps compress your images and re-build it. 2. I noticed the app requires Android 4.1 and up, could you make It require 4.0 upwards...Some users still use old tablets and phones, please take note. |

The success of any venture or startup to a large extent depends on how well you can push it and market it, so give your best shot and you just might be successful. 1 Like 1 Share |

mark3009: Thanks @mark3009 I plan to be quite aggressive with this one. Public string ResultOfTakingRisks() { var result = "Change Must Come"; if(ManNoTakeRisk) { result = "No change from previous years"; } return result; } Cant believe I just wrote that, Hope it compiles ![]() ![]() |
