What’s Holding You Back? 5 Myths About Getting an App Built (That We’re Here to Bust)

You’ve got a great idea for an app—but it’s been sitting on the back burner. Maybe you’ve even jotted down notes or sketched some mockups, but something’s holding you back from taking the next step.


If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.


At ItzAnApp, we talk to entrepreneurs, small business owners, and visionaries every day who are ready to launch—but still feel stuck. More often than not, it’s because they’ve bought into one (or more) of these common myths.


Itz Time To Bust Them!


Myth #1: “I Need to Know How to Code.”


Truth: You don’t need to know JavaScript, Swift, or any coding language to bring your app to life.

We do.

At ItzAnApp, we turn your ideas into working apps with a friendly, collaborative process. You bring the vision, Our team handles the tech.




Myth #2: “App Development Is Way Too Expensive.”


Truth: It doesn’t have to be.

While custom development used to be reserved for deep-pocketed companies, today’s tools and experienced development partners (like us!) make it possible to build and launch an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) without breaking the bank.


We help you define what matters most for your initial launch so you don’t waste time or money on features you don’t need yet.



Myth #3: “It’ll Take Forever to Launch.”


Truth: A clear plan accelerates everything.

With our structured build process and milestone-based approach, many clients are surprised by how quickly they see progress. Most delays happen because people don’t know where to start and a clear path to where they are going. That’s where we come in.



Myth #4: “I Need a Business Plan First.”


Truth: You just need a solid use case and a starting point.

We can help you think through your business model along the way, but you don’t need to have all the answers before you begin. The key is taking action and surrounding yourself with a team who knows how to guide the process.



Myth #5: “It’s Too Late. Someone’s Already Built It.”


Truth: No one has your exact vision, your voice, or your brand.

Even if others have built something similar, there’s always room for a better version—yours. The market often rewards fresh takes and improved user experiences. Plus, if you’re solving a real problem, the audience will find you.
