Mobile apps, short for mobile applications, are software applications designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

They offer a wide range of functionalities and can be downloaded and installed from app stores specific to the mobile platform (such as the Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play Store for Android devices). Here’s some information about mobile apps:

Native Apps: These apps are specifically developed for a particular mobile platform (e.g., iOS or Android) using platform-specific programming languages (Swift/Objective-C for iOS, Java/Kotlin for Android). Native apps offer the best performance and take full advantage of device capabilities but require separate development efforts for each platform.

Web Apps: These are web-based applications accessed through a mobile device’s web browser. Web apps are built using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and do not require installation from app stores. They can be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes, but may have limited access to device features.

Hybrid Apps: Hybrid apps combine elements of both native and web apps. They are developed using web technologies and wrapped in a native container that enables them to be installed and run as native apps. Hybrid apps can provide access to device features through plugins and frameworks like Apache Cordova or React Native.
