                 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 programs.
                 Mobile Apps are more cost-effective than desktop applications. You can install as many free apps
                 as you want if you have enough space on your mobile to operate them. Some apps need Internet
                 accessibility. In this chapter, we will learn about Google and its different apps.
