Web Apps

                  Web apps are actually web applications which give a user with experience similar to native apps.
                  These apps are not deployed on the app store. Hence, you need an extra app called browser to
                  access these apps on your mobile device. You also need an Internet connection to work with
                  Web apps. These apps are generally developed in HTML and CSS.

                  Web apps are different from websites. The major difference is that a web app can be a small part
                  of a website which provides a particular functionality. On the other hand, a website can contain
                  many web apps.
                  Some of the examples of the Web apps are OLX, Flipkart

                  and Pinterest.
                  Hybrid Apps

                  The app that is created by combining the features of native app and web app is called a hybrid

                  app. Similar to native app, hybrid app is developed for a specific platform and deployed on the
                  app store. You need to install the hybrid app before using it on your mobile. Hybrid app can be
                  created by using many hardware features of your device such as camera and developed by using
                  HTML and CSS similar to web app.
                  Nowadays, developers use development tools to package the code of the hybrid app with a
                  browser to make it as a native app. In this way, hybrid apps become cross-platform which means
                  that the same code can be run on multiple platforms. This technique saves the development time

                  and cost also.
                  Some of the examples of the hybrid apps are Instagram,
                  Gmail, and X (formerly known as Twitter).

                      CATEGORIES OF APPS

                  purposes  such  as communicating,  learning,  teaching  and  playing  games. This leads to  the
                  development of several types of apps. As you know, Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store
                  are the two most popular app stores. These stores contain different types of apps which are
                  further categorised in various categories.

                  Today’s most popular category of mobile apps is gamming apps which shared more than 24%
                  area of the app store. Gaming apps allow us to improve our cognitive skills such as attention and
                  focus. Some of the gaming apps allow children to learn while playing. These apps also allow us
                  to play games with other friends and share scores on social media.
