Every mobile device user needs apps on their device. The question is not whether they will download an app, the question is which app will they download on their mobile device. For such reason, it should be your goal to be one of the apps that they feature on their mobile device.
In other words, if a mobile device user does not download your app, they are going to do so with someone else’s app, which should stir your motivation to appeal your product to any and every mobile device user. In case you still doubt the concept, here is precisely why mobile device users need your app.

The mere fact that some mobile device user out in the mobile market needs your app, means that every mobile device users could potentially need it too.

This is the last thing that you want and subsequently can afford when trying to offer a successful mobile app to the market. Your ultimate goal should be to avoid such a fate, which luckily there are some things you can do to help.

You must make sure that when mobile device users look at all of the options to choose from in your app’s category that they pick yours first. The only difference between a user’s selection and playing kickball at recess is that a mobile device user is likely only going to make one pick, so instead of feeling good about being picked second or third, such an achievement is the same as coming in last.
