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.
