Publisher's summary

The ultimate guide to building an app-based business - now revised and updated

Apps have changed the way we communicate, shop, play, interact and travel, and their phenomenal popularity has presented possibly the biggest business opportunity in history.

In How to Build a Billion Dollar App, serial tech entrepreneur George Berkowski gives you exclusive access to the secrets behind the success of the select group of apps that have achieved billion-dollar success.

Berkowski draws exclusively on the inside stories of the billion-dollar app club members, including Instagram, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Candy Crush and Uber, to provide all the information you need to create your own spectacularly successful mobile business. He guides you through each step, from an idea scribbled on the back of an envelope through to finding a cofounder, building a team and attracting (and keeping) millions of users, all the way through to juggling the pressures of being CEO of a billion-dollar company (and still staying ahead of the competition).

If you've ever dreamed of quitting your nine-to-five job to launch your own company, or if you're a gifted developer, a seasoned entrepreneur or just intrigued by mobile technology, How to Build a Billion Dollar App will show you what it really takes to create your own billion-dollar mobile business.

Great research resource.

As an App business owner, I wish this book was written before my first app. I'm certain the outcome would've been exponentially better. Thanks George and hope you publish a new edition soon. I would pay x4 for it. A.C.

Great intro into the app world

I’ve read a lot of reviews of entrepreneurs mainly stating that this book did not really offer any intuitive advice regarding the app world . Rather that it is geared toward building a billion dollar business. I can agree to some extent but I see the book as a happy medium for entrepreneurs and engineers. I have learnt a lot of things about business and applications as a whole through this audiobook. Lengthy but good . A great book for those aspiring to do something great.
