                 WHAT IS AN APP?

            An app is a software program primarily developed for hand-held smart devices such as mobile and
            tablet. It helps the user to 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 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 Windows Store is not in use for mobile devices. But can download the apps for your
            computer from the Windows Store.







            There are mainly three types of applications, which are:

                Desktop Applications: The application that is mainly developed for computer or laptop is called
               a desktop application. This type of application depends of the hardware and operating system
               on which it run. 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 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.

                Web Applications: The application program that is stored on a remote server and accessed over

               the Internet through a Web browser interface is called a Web application. Some of the mobile apps
               and Web apps look and work in same way, with very little difference between them. However, these
               two are very different from each other. One of the major differences is that the Web apps require an
               Internet connection to work.
