When you are an app development company, you get plenty of inquiries with varied ideas for app development. Basically, there is a few bifurcation of app ideas:
1) Ideas that are totally out of the box.
2) Idea which is partially unique and partially resembles some of the existing apps.
3) Idea which is just a clone of some existing app.
Generally, business comes up with either of these options. From the client’s perspective, before you plunge to the decision of development, just give it a thought, is it worth it? Because it is going to eat up a lot of your money. So, there is nothing wrong if you send your app idea for a SWOT analysis. Let me give you a basic idea of what is SWOT.

SWOT analysis is not restricted to the internal affairs but also expands to the external affairs as well.
