Web App
Web apps are not real applications; they are websites that, in many ways, but are not implemented as such. They are run by a browser and typically written in HTML5. Users first access them as they would access any web page: they navigate to a special URL and then have the option of “installing” them on their home screen by creating a bookmark to that page. Web apps became popular when HTML5 came around and people realized that they can obtain native-like functionality in the browser. Today, as more and more sites use HTML5, the distinction between web apps and regular web pages has become blurry. These are all features that are available in HTML5.
Also available is the GPS, the tap-to-call feature, and, there is talk about a camera API, although I haven’t seen any web app (or web page) that takes advantage of it so far. This allows users to interact with the company using online forms, content management systems, shopping carts, and more.
In addition, the applications allow employees to create documents, share information, collaborate on projects, and work on common documents regardless of location or device. Web apps need an active internet connection to run. web apps are extremely customizable and can perform a wide range of functionality, they are generally more difficult to build and require an experienced team of software developers.
