came from application software. Apps are designed to help the user perform a
specific task. A lot of apps are made available for smartphone and tablets and
those are called mobile apps. In order to create a really good app, the user
interface needs to look really good, target a specific audience and it doesn’t
make people want to delete it after they try it out. Really popular mobile apps
