The goal of a mobile MVP is not to impress people. It is to learn from the market at the lowest responsible cost.


What should be in v1

  • One clear core workflow
  • Sign-up or login
  • Basic analytics events
  • Crash tracking
  • Simple feedback loop

What should usually stay out

  • Complex roles and permissions
  • Advanced loyalty logic
  • Heavy animation work
  • Multi-country complexity
  • Too many payment scenarios

Closing

Good MVPs are not feature-rich. They are decision-rich.
