Web apps are different from websites. The major difference is that a web app can be a small part
of a website that provides a particular functionality. On the other hand, a website can contain
many Web apps.
Some examples of Web apps are OLX, Flipkart, and
Pinterest.
Hybrid Apps
The app that is created by combining the features of a native app and a web app is called a
hybrid app. Similar to native apps, hybrid apps are developed for a specific platform and deployed
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 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 examples of hybrid apps are Instagram, Gmail,
and X.
CATEGORIES OF APPS
Apps have become an essential part of our daily lives. People now use their mobile phones for a
variety of activities such as communication, education, and entertainment. This growing demand
has driven the development of various types of apps.
Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store are the two leading platforms for app distribution.
These stores host a diverse array of apps, organised into different categories.
Gaming Apps
The gaming category is currently the most popular in mobile apps, accounting for over 24% of
the app store's offerings. These apps not only entertain but also help enhance cognitive skills
like attention and focus. Some gaming apps are designed to make learning fun for children by
integrating educational elements into gameplay. Additionally, many games allow players to
connect with friends, compete, and share their scores on social media.
Popular gaming apps include Ludo King, Candy Crush Saga,
and Garena Free Fire MAX.
Productivity Apps
Productivity apps, also known as business apps, are used by businessmen to perform several
complex tasks. These apps allow businessmen to do their work more effectively.
