crap_on_desk.jpg

A mobile application is a software tool made especially for the phone. They aren't new to the market since smartphones have been in the market for quite some time. Mobile applications are designed to allow users to perform everyday online functions conveniently through their phones. A smartphone user understands that to use an app, you need to visit Google or the Android play store, download the app, and you're good to go!

In 2018, the global mobile application market stood at around 365 billion US dollars. Since then, the app market has shown no signs of slowing down. By 2023, the mobile app market is expected to cross its recent figures to an estimate of 935 billion US.
