              WHAT IS AN APP?

              An app is a software program primarily developed for hand-held smart devices such as mobile and tablet.
              It helps them perform their personal and professional tasks more effectively. The app is a modern term
              derived from the word application. Generally, the word app is used to refer to the applications on smart
              devices such as mobiles and tablets. Thousands of apps are available for smart devices. Most of the apps
              are freely downloadable. However, some of the apps need to be purchased from the app store.

              The three most popular app stores are Google’s Play Store, Apple’s
              App Store, and Microsoft Store. However, the Microsoft Store  is not
              in use for mobile devices. But you can download the apps for your
              computer from the Microsoft Store.

              The three main types of applications are as follows:
                  Desktop Applications: The application that is mainly developed for a computer or laptop is called
                 a desktop application. This type of application depends on the hardware and operating system
                 on which it runs. It is usually developed for a particular operating system. Some of the examples of
                 desktop applications are Paint, Notepad, and Word.
                  Mobile Applications: The software program that is developed  for hand-held  devices such  as
                 smartphones and tablets is called a Mobile application (also known as a mobile app). These apps
                 are installed  and  run  on  the  device  itself.  Some  of  the  examples  of  mobile  apps  are  Snapchat,
                 WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger.
