Users are satisfied with the available apps and app stores. The common saying is “there is an app for that” and we can say there are 100s of apps for that. Looking at the current apps and the features they are lacking, mobile app developers are making more apps to improve the overall user experience. But wait, is it enough!!! Existed apps and their updates with necessary improvements is enough to fulfil all your needs. Are you really satisfied with the available apps and do not wish to have more than that? Do you really think that all apps that you need are available on the app store?
While facing some problem in your life, you might have thought that “I wish I could have an app for that”. With this sentence, we want to tell you that still many app ideas are pending to enter into app world, but they haven’t yet created. Here are few app ideas from users and the reason behind their non-existent.
“An App That Helps Me Find Things Like Keys, Jewellery, Wristwatch, etc.”
When you are getting late to the office, you are finding all things in a hurry which makes you more confuse about where the things are actually placed. Hence, as always happens, you will reach late to the office. That is the moment when you are saying that “I wish I could have an app that helps me find small things.”
An app is not efficient enough or we can say the technology hasn’t yet entered that keeps you connected with your things via the app. If you really want to have an app like this, first of all, you have to purchase things that contain software which can be connected via Bluetooth or WiFi with the app, so that when you ask your app where the thing is, it can points its exact position. Hence, you have to wait until your things can be digitized.
“An app that tells me which company will hit the market in next 5 years, so that I can invest in it”
Nobody predicts the future, at least not exactly. An astrologer can tell you about your future. He can tell you where you will go, but can’t predict that how will you reach there. Similarly, an app can tell you about your future, but it can’t tell you the particular company that is going to be a big hit in the market in next five years. For an app like this, a developer has to first find an astrologer that can tell the future of the investment world along with a name of companies.
“An app that charges my battery using sunlight”
You need a solar powered mobile or a device that contains some solar energy so that it can consume sunlight to get charged via an app. However, you can have a charger that consumes sunlight and you can charge your using that or you can wait for a solar mobile with an app to charge it using sunlight.
“An app defines a whole recipe when I point towards any food item”
I think it is quite possible. You can take a picture of a food item and ask the app for its whole recipe. Another possibility is point your camera on the item, let the app recognize it and give you a recipe in video or text format. The app hasn’t yet arrived in the app store, might be the reason is there are too many food items in the whole world. If we talk about only India, we can see a number of varieties in every state with a different way and different ingredients to make them.
“I want a lie detector app”
We can’t read someone’s mind. We can’t catch the truth, until we notice any movement in the body with a sign that the particular person is lying, for instance, sweat on the forehead can let you know the person is lying. So, an app hasn’t yet entered that can recognize whether the person is telling a lie. This type of app requires coming in contact with the person, you want to get recognized. After that, the app has to analyze movement held within the person when he is telling a lie. Suppose, you really have an app like that, then you have to tell the person to touch your device, so you can activate the app to catch his lie. I think that would be the reason for its non existence.
Conclusion
With the tons of apps available in mobile app market, people are saying that the technology is near to the future. But still, with the examples of above listed apps, we can say that technology is far away from the future. Lots of app ideas are still remaining to enter the app stores due to some of impossibilities or lack of technology that can ease the everyday life of users.
