For mobile devices
The mobile application, or (Application for Mobile) is a type of application software designed to run on a mobile device such as a smartphone, or tablet computer. Mobile applications often serve to provide users with similar services to those available on a PC. Applications are usually small, separate software modules with a limited function. This application software application was originally popularized by Apple Inc. and its App Store, which offers thousands of apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Mobile applications are a move away from integrated software systems that are usually found on a PC. Instead, each application provides limited and isolated features, such as a game, calculator, antivirus, or mobile web browsing.
The simplest mobile applications use PC-based applications and are transferred to a mobile device. A more complex approach involves the development specifically for the mobile environment, using both its limitations and advantages. For example, applications that use location-based features are initially created from scratch for mobile devices, given that the user does not have the same location concept on a PC.
