apps

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.

    Charging Apps and Vendors

    Finding all the different public charging options a bit bewildering. I now have about 8 apps downloaded, a polar RFID card and 2 other cards in the post. This article was helpful. Which electric car charging networks operate in the UK? But finding that some networks / apps / cards overlap is...

    Apps?

    What apps are you lot using? I've got quite a few already (I'm sad like that and I'd rather have something already than faffing around when I might need it) Are there any that I've not installed that might be useful? (See attached pictures)

    What Apps do you like and/or trust?

    I'm sure I'm not on my own here, but I now have about 7 EV charging advice apps and 2 map apps on my mobile that I seem to constantly look at for charger point locations and operating status. But I'm getting confused about the type and quality I am being provided. For instance, on my way back...
