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.
                  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. A hybrid app can be created by

                  using many hardware features of your device, such as a camera, and developed by using HTML and
                  CSS, similar to a web app.
                  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.
                  Gaming Apps

                  Today’s most popular category of mobile apps is the gaming apps, which share more than 24%

                  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 friends and share scores on social media.
                  Some of the most used gaming apps are Call of Duty,

                  Candy Crush Saga, and Angry Birds.
                  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.

                  Some of the most used productive apps are Google Calendar,
                  Evernote and Dropbox.
