A mobile app is software designed for smartphones and tablets, usually distributed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Apps can use device features such as notifications, camera, location and biometrics, which makes them faster and more personal than a website for repeat use.
- Types: native apps (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android), cross-platform apps (such as Flutter or React Native), hybrid and webview apps, and progressive web apps.
- Components: user interface, accounts, core functionality, backend and database, admin panel, push notifications, analytics and integrations.
- When it makes sense: frequent, repeat customer relationships, loyalty programmes, field or internal operations, and subscription models.
