There are thousands of apps, designed to run on smartphones and tablets to perform a
                  specific task. Some of the important features of apps are:

                     user-friendly                                easy to design
                     interactive                                  easy to understand




                            TYPES OF MOBILE APPS

                  Mobile apps are divided into three types: Native Apps, Web Apps and Hybrid Apps. Let’s
                  learn about them in detail.


                  NATIVE APPS

                  Apps that are developed for a specific platform
                  (Operating System)  and device  are called
                  Native apps. A native iOS app would not be

                  able to work on Android, and an app developed
                  for Android or Windows wouldn’t work on iOS
                  systems. These apps can be installed from the
                  app  stores  such as  Google's Play  Store  or

                  Apple's App Store. The majority of the apps installed on our smartphones are native
                  apps. They have access to cameras, microphones, compass, etc. Users can also use some
                  apps offline (without an Internet connection). Some examples of native apps are Angry
                  Birds, Dinner Spinner Match 3 Game, etc.


                  WEB APPS

                  Web-based apps on mobile phones are apps that you open in your phone’s web browser
                  instead of downloading them from an app store. These apps are designed to adjust to
                  different screen sizes and orientations, providing a mobile-friendly experience.

                  Web apps are different from websites. The major difference is that a
                  web app can be a small part of a website that provides  particular

                  functionality. On the other hand, a website can contain many web
                  apps.  Some examples of Web apps are OLX, Flipkart, Amazon and
                  Pinterest.
