These apps are distinctly accessible from app stores and offer the fastest, most reliable, and most
                 responsive experience to users.
                 Some of the examples of native apps are Camera, Microphone,
                 Gallery and  Address book. However, there are some
                 alternatives also available for these apps but using native apps
                 is easiest.


                      Web Apps

                 Web-based  apps  on mobiles  are applications  that  are accessed  through a mobile  device's  web
                 browser rather than being downloaded and installed from an app store. These apps are designed
                 to  be  responsive,  meaning  they  adapt  to  different  screen  sizes  and  orientations,  providing  a
                 mobile-friendly experience.
                 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 example of Web apps are Olx, Flipkart and Pinterest.

                      Hybrid Apps

                 A hybrid app is an app that combines the features of a native app and a web app. Just like a native app,
                 developers develop a hybrid app for a specific platform and then deploy it on the app store. You need to
                 install the hybrid app before using it on your mobile.
                 Nowadays, developers use development tools to package the code of the hybrid app with a browser
                 to make it 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.

                        VARIETIES OF APPS

                 Apps have become an integral part of our lives. Nowadays, people are using mobiles for many 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.
