                  SOCIAL MEDIA APPS

                  Social media apps are the medium to connect with the people inside or outside their social

                  circle who share similar personal or professional interests. We can keep track of what is
                  going on in the lives of our family and friends. We can share live videos, post images, and
                  start  conversation  using these  apps.  Examples  of  social
                  media apps are Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, X (formerly
                  known as Twitter), etc.

                  users improve their cognitive skills and focus if used correctly within
                  a time  constraint.  Examples  of gaming  apps are  Subway  Surfer,

                  Sudoku, Trivia Crack, etc.




                            DEVELOPING AN APP

                  There are many open source app development software available. They help us develop
                  an app. While developing an app we should keep some points in mind:

                      The idea of developing an app should be unique.

                      The app we are going to develop should contain all the relevant features.
                      The app should be user friendly.
                  Let us create a mobile app with the help of a freeware software provided by Google called
                  the App Inventor. With the help of App Inventor, we can create apps.


                  APP INVENTOR

                  App Inventor is a free app development tool, provided by Google. With the help of App
                  Inventor, we can create apps for smart phones. The working of App Inventor is similar to
                  Scratch programming language in which we drag and drop blocks for making an app. App
                  Inventor has two basic views:

                  a. Design View: This view contains all the components required to design an application.
                  b. Block Editor View:  This view  is  the  place  where we  combine  blocks  to  execute  an
                    application.


                  SETTING UP APP INVENTOR
                  For setting up the App Inventor, we should have a Gmail account.
