                       2.   If you could make your own app, what would it do?

                      Mobile apps are a key part of our daily lives, from games to communication tools. In

                      this chapter, you will explore how they work and how institutions like MIT contribute
                      to creating these essential tools. Let’s dive into the world of app development.

                             WHAT ARE APPS?

                      Apps are software programs for smartphones, tablets

                      or computers that perform tasks like learning, gaming,
                      chatting or watching videos. The app is a modern term

                      derived from the word application.  Many apps are free,
                      while some need to be purchased. They’re designed to
                      meet  various needs, such  as  gaming,  online classes,

                      music, communication and video streaming.

                      You can download apps from stores like the Google Play
                      Store (for Android) or App Store (for iPhone).

                              FEATURES OF MOBILE APPS

                      Mobile apps have many features that make them fun, helpful and easy to use. Here
                      are some of the main features of mobile apps:

                           Easy to use: Apps are simple and user-friendly, allowing even children to learn

                          quickly by tapping icons.
                           Safe and secure: Verified apps protect your data and let you control settings like

                          notifications and privacy.
                           Notifications: Apps can send alerts or reminders, like when you get a message
                          or when it’s time to study. These help you stay updated.
