Mobile apps are developed to provide value to the user and have a special focus on an easy usage. During the development of a mobile app, a special focus is on the user interface and how the app is supposed to be used, as a mobile devices provides only limited space on the screen. If a developer wants to reach users of multiple different platforms, there are basically two approaches: a native app or a mobile web-app. To support multiple platforms with a native app, the developer has to develop an app for each of the platforms they want to support. Mobile web apps usually just require a web browser, however, they mostly require an internet connection at any time. | Mobile apps are developed to provide value to the user and have a special focus on an easy usage.
