Mobile Apps

INTRODUCTION

Mobile Apps or mobile applications are the software programs or application software that are developed and designed to run as per the specifications of the smartphones or tabs. If the same application is designed to be run on a computer or laptop on the browser then the layout and designing will be totally different. We are not required to type the site address in any address bar to run the mobile apps, just a tap on the icon that it will open..

Most of the apps are native apps which means that it is limited to the scope of the platform (Android, iOS) for it had been designed. An app designed for the Android platform will only run on android phones and could only be downloaded through Google Play Store. On the contrary, and app designed for iOS platform will run only on Apple phones and could only be downloaded through Apple Store.
