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

accessibility. In this chapter, we will learn about Google and its different apps.
