app

A mobile application or app is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch. Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.
Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available. Many apps require Internet access. Apps are generally downloaded from app stores, which are a type of digital distribution platforms.
The term "app", short for "application", has since become very popular; in 2010, it was listed as "Word of the Year" by the American Dialect Society.Apps are broadly classified into three types: native apps, hybrid and web apps. Native applications are designed specifically for a mobile operating system, typically iOS or Android. Web apps are written in HTML5 or CSS and typically run through a browser. Hybrid apps are built using web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 and function like web apps disguised in a native container.

    Octopus App device issues

    I received a message from the Octopus app telling me I needed to re-activate my Zappi V2 charger in the app. Fine I thought, I'll do it now. To cut a long story short, I've now been left with my charger disconnected from my IO Go tariff and unable to add it back into the app as it now says I...

    MG ismart security

    I've bound my car to the app and added my wife as a secondary user. I'm surprised that having logged in once, I seem to stay permanently logged in. It occurs to me that if someone accessed my phone they could locate the car, unlock it and drive it away with the app. The only thing stopping this...

    Wanted: Android App to show real time consumption data

    Hi, I'm looking for an app which shows a realtime display of the actual consumption/use of energy while driving, like an old fashioned 'economy gauge' . I've tried Car Scanner (the free version) but it doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for. I've got an ODB bluetooth adapter, so it's just an...

    MG iSSMART App

    The MG iSMART app, on my phone, is now failing to charge my MG ZS EV. This has happened since I amended the phone number it showed in settings on the app. I can turn on a/c etc using the app. Would you advise deleting the app then reloading it?

    Cabin temp display says 40 degrees, app says 13, heating doesn’t work!

    As subject says: The external air temp display is saying 40+ degrees, the iSMART app says 13 (which is about right). The heating will not heat - even on “Hi”. Has made for a pretty uncomfortable drive to Cornwall this half term! I’m posting here in the hope that someone knows some magic...

    I got my first MG EV on Thursday. The ismart app seems to be pants. Today it won't refresh and pages. It is impossible to set up a charging schedule. The last effective refresh was 1hr ago. Does the MG server have an issue or is this normal. The car seems great but the app really ruins the...
