                 An app, short for "application," refers to software  designed  to  perform specific tasks. Developers
                 create apps for devices like smartphones, tablets, or computers. You must have heard people say,
                 Mobile  Apps. These apps run on Smartphones/Tablets. The term "app" gained more popularity
                 when Apple launched its App Store in 2008. Since then, this word App has been used for numerous
                 programs. Mobile Apps are more cost-effective than desktop applications. You can install as many free
                 apps as you want if you have enough space on your mobile to operate them. Some apps need Internet
                 accessibility. In this chapter, we will learn about Google and its different apps.
