    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.
