Mobile Apps Development

Why Mobile Apps?

With the tremendous increase in the number of smartphone users accessing the internet on their handhelds, it is important for the website owners to make mobile apps that drive your business and sales.

A mobile application, most commonly referred to as an Apps, is a type of application software specifically designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphones or tablets and other smaller touch devices.

Mobile apps are designed with consideration for the demands and constraints of the devices and also to take advantage of any specialized capabilities they have. Mobile apps are sometimes categorized according to whether they are web-based or native apps, which are created specifically for a given platform. Hybrid apps, combines elements of both native and Web apps.

Native apps: Native apps are built to work with a mobile device’s operating system (OS). For example, if you have an iPhone, you can only install apps built for iOS, not for Windows or Android. It’s not possible to mix and match native apps.

Hybrid apps: A hybrid app is basically a web application enclosed in a native app shell. You download hybrid apps onto your device the same way you would a native app, but they’re capable of functioning on multiple OS platforms. That means you could build a hybrid app that works on Android, iOS, and Windows.‌

Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available. Many apps require Internet access. Apps are generally downloaded from app stores or google play store, which are a type of digital distribution platforms.
