Application of this and that, use for several activities, and many more that we don’t really know what it purpose of creating. Well, sometimes users have no idea how to use it, they may not see the point of using, like what problem does it actually solve, or is it literally solving any problem at. But what is important is that what is the benefit of using it? Lot of developers would just build anything that comes in their mind without asking people if their idea’s concept is a good solution for that particular matter at all. What type of application that users prefer over one another, what type of platform application would users prefer to use, is there any difference between the applications? Well, today I will be writing about the type of application that people use in a broad variety of categories and applications on devices.
Type of Application
When talking about type of application we often think about the kind of tasks that particular application will perform and its expectation. People often forget that apart from application categories there are also applications on type of devices, type of applications for different types of devices and platforms. And yes, I will write about applications in categories, applications type for different devices, Is it to perform on the cloud or on a hardware.
Applications with categories are vast since nowadays there are so many industry of company, organization, privately built applications out there for vastly purposes. You will never know if someone is actually building an app just to get access to the government database, hacking nearby mobile devices once it stays within the hacking ranges.
Enough about that lets talk about what are the number of leading app stores with the number of apps in store from the chart above shows that.
Google Play has about 2.87millions apps in their store.
Apple App Store has about 1.96millions apps in their store.
Window Store has about 669thousands apps in their store.
Amazon Appstore has about 455thousands apps in their store.
Most of these apps number in each app store including cross-platform application apps, applications on different devices that meet users’ needs.
Application on different devices
Why is it that when a word “application”, it always has to be about mobile when there are masses of applications that can be performed on other devices such as computer, laptop, tablet, mobile, smart gadgets, AR/VR glasses, machines, and more. Majority of devices have a real-time operating system (RTOS) that processes a real-time application in embedded devices. While, the general-purpose operating system (GPOS) applied to computer and laptop devices. A lot of applications in stores can be run on devices such as computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, embedded device with mobility to move it around. No matter if it is a computer application, tablet application, laptop application, smartphone application, smart gadget application, or any other embedded application, they all apply with the same principle yet with different platform integration and programming languages. All these are known in other words as software applications.
Application software is a program that is designed to work on separate devices with a high-end performance as for each application build by using the most suitable programming language or languages for that particular device. To perform a specific personal, educational, and business function and assist the user with a particular process, that is related to productivity, creativity, or communication. There are varieties of functions like managing information, manipulating data, constructing visuals, coordinating resources, calculating figures, collectivity, and much more limitless functions. Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately and may be coded as proprietary, open-source, or projects. Apps built for mobile platforms are called mobile apps. Basically, apps built for computers or laptops to be called desktop apps, apps built for smart gadgets to be called smart gadget apps, apps built for any embedded device to be called embedded apps, and so on.
In summary, the type of application can be really vast depending on devices you want to execute the applications, develop for a certain platform or cross-platform. Application nowadays has uncountable categories both public and non public, we only know that there are about 5.954millions applications on the most popular app store from the tech giant. Application type main focus is to develop application software that is easy to execute on all kinds of platforms available in the market whether it is factory built, customized built, or self built by the user. Nevertheless, I strongly believe that application is a way to get things done in a convenient way on the never ending electronic technology development.
