I use to make my own apps when it was profitable to do so. At any point, we had 50-100 apps across many categories, different companies. We were making good revenue, it was still early in the mobile world. These days, it's not as profitable as it used to be outside of few VC funded categories which are heavily subsidized, good luck making a big profit there. Most apps today are complementary to running at loss. So, need a SaaS app (with enough profit margin) before you make your mobile app. Today, we develop apps for small businesses which is much easier and doesn't require any special skills. 80% apps are just CRUD apps. If we need something advance like machine learning etc..., we delegate it to Google and Amazon like API providers. There are some of our competitors in app business who are hiring wizards yet not able to compete with this formula ^
