                 An app is a short form for an application which is made of programs or codes. It is designed for the
                 users of mobiles or computers to perform a specific function/task. You must have heard people say,
                 Mobile Apps. These apps run on Smartphones/Tablets. The term App was first coined by Apple when
                 they created an 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 you
                 want if you have enough space in your mobile to operate them. Some apps need an unlimited Inter-
                 net accessibility. There are Web Apps also available which run on the computer systems or mobiles
                 through browser interface. In this chapter, we will learn about Google and its different apps.
