    Study Notes

    Mobile App Download Process

    • Users first ensure their mobile device has enough storage space for the app.
    • The download process begins after storage confirmation.
    • After downloading, users are required to log in or sign up before accessing the app.
    • Once logged in, the app displays its content, delivers services, and aims to offer a positive user experience.

    Types of Mobile Apps

    • There are two major mobile operating systems (OS): iOS and Android.
    • Both OS differ in terms of services, features, and environments.
    • Previously, developers created separate applications for each OS.
    • Currently, developers create hybrid apps to simplify the development process.
    • The three main types of mobile applications are:
      • Native Apps: Developed specifically for a particular platform (iOS or Android).
      • Hybrid Apps: Combine elements of native and web applications.
      • Mobile Web Apps: Access via a mobile browser, function similar to web applications.
    • Popular mobile application genres include:
      • Lifestyle
      • Social Media
      • Ecommerce
      • Utility
      • Games
      • Educational
      • Communication
      • Entertainment
      • Productivity
      • News

    Mobile App Pros and Cons

    • Pros:

      • Easy to access with a single click.
      • User data like favorites and settings can be saved and accessed at any time.
      • Offer personalized experiences for users.
      • Examples: online shopping carts, email, word processors, photo/video editing, file scanning, spreadsheets, presentations.

    • Cons:

      • Developing mobile apps can be challenging.
      • Require frequent updates.
      • Not all mobile apps are cross-platform (compatible with different OS).

    Web App Pros and Cons

    • Pros:

      • Flexible and accessible from any browser on desktops and mobiles.
      • Automatic updates, eliminating manual updates.
      • Do not require installation, saving storage space.
      • Cross-platform, compatible with various OS.

    • Cons:

      • Require internet access, cannot be used offline.
      • Rely on browser performance, susceptible to errors.
      • Generally slower compared to mobile apps.
      • Vulnerable to security breaches.

    What is a Mobile App?

    • A mobile app is a software application designed to provide services on mobile devices.

    • Similar in purpose to web applications, both aim to:

      • Display content to the user.
      • Deliver tailored responses based on requests.
      • Provide smooth browsing experiences.

    • Key Difference: Mobile apps are exclusively designed for mobile use, while web applications can be accessed on desktops and mobiles.

    How Mobile Apps Work

    • Users download mobile apps from app stores (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play Store).
    • Downloading requires sufficient data and storage space on the device.
    • Mobile apps aim to provide faster browsing speeds and an enhanced user experience compared to web apps.
    • They often utilize less internet data.

    What is a Web Application?

    • A web application is a program stored on a remote server and accessed through a browser.
    • Unlike websites, which display static content, web applications focus on user interaction.

    How Web Applications Work

    • Users send requests to the web server through their browser using the internet.
    • The server receives the request and prepares the information.
    • The server then delivers the requested information from the application to the user through the browser.

    Examples of Web Applications

    • Users frequently utilize a wide range of web applications without realizing it.
    • Some common examples include:
      • Email services like Gmail and Outlook.
      • Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
      • Online shopping websites like Amazon and eBay.
      • Collaboration tools like Google Docs and Microsoft Office Online.
