Before we get directly to the topic of development, we should talk about what applications are and why they are created. Applications can be divided into:

Native, which focus only on one specific Android or iOS platform. Such apps are quick to install, easy to work with and fully interact with the technical capabilities of the gadget without depending on an Internet connection. Developing a native app has a higher price tag and is considered a forward-thinking strategic move.

Cross-platform apps are created for multiple platforms at once. They use the JavaScript programming language and its frameworks, on which projects for different platforms can be implemented. Cross-platform development is suitable for non-customized projects and can be just as efficient, but less costly in resources.

In addition to the technical characteristics, it is necessary to mention the type diversity. Applications can be divided into many groups, such as:

• Entertainment (games, image processing, audio and video formats).
• Assistants (information search, weather applications, etc.).
• Informational (news, events, etc.)
• Social networks
• Leisure (sports, hobbies, travel).
• E-commerce – mobile online stores (the ability to buy through apps).
• B2B applications in the structure (internal control systems and organization of processes within the company).

Each group has its own peculiarities and allows the full potential of business, entertainment or public projects.
