Ans: Apps enable you to do something specific, like paint, draw, read
maps and barcodes, take photographs, play games, watch and edit
videos, and a host of other activities, but within the technical
limitations of your device. Apps are designed to work on different
operating systems used by the various devices. Desktop Apps, Native
App, Web app, etc. are different types of apps.
2. State the use of Web apps.
Ans: Web Apps require an internet connection. They are usually
browser-based and stored on a remote server. Users can access them
like any other web page. A web application requires very less amount
of device memory as the application lies on the remote server. These
applications can be utilised from any device through the internet.
3. Describe the Hybrid apps.
Ans: Hybrid Apps have the features of both Web Apps and Native
Apps. These apps can be installed by downloading them from the
Play Store or App Store using the internet. Hybrid apps can be stored
partly on the local device and partly on the remote server.

computer.

tablets, or watches. Mobile apps have responsive web designs to adapt
to the much smaller screen sizes and orientations of mobile devices.
5. Explain the Native apps.
Ans: Native Apps come pre-installed on the new phone, and can also
be downloaded from the Play Store or App Store and further installed
on the device. Some Native Apps can run on the device without the
use of the internet, but the others may need the internet facility for full
functionality. These apps have certain limitations. They are designed
for a particular platform and expensive to develop and maintain.
6. How can you download and install an app from the Google
Play Store?
Ans: To download an app, tap on Play Store and type name of the app
in the Search bar that you wish to download. If it meets your
requirements, tap the INSTALL button to install the app on your
device. The app will request you for permission to access specific
information from your phone. Confirm your consent, and the app will
be downloaded and installed on your phone. The app is now ready to
use.
7. Explain the importance of the Educational Apps. Give an
example to support your answer.
Ans: Educational apps are used for learning. These apps not only help
the students to learn new concepts, but also show you what is being
taught in the classrooms. Students of all age groups can access a
treasure chest of information on any topic. Educational apps are
equally useful for both students and teachers. The teachers are able to
distribute study material quickly, conduct tests, and grade the students
efficiently by using apps, like Google Classroom, Kahoot, etc.
