Tech Terms: Web App vs. Native App

From web application (web app), https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/definition/Web-application-Web-app : "A web application (web app) is an application program that is stored on a remote server and delivered over the internet through a browser interface." The web app is accessible on various platforms like desktop PC, laptop and mobile through a browser like Chrome.

The article has an interesting section: "Web app vs. native app vs. hybrid app".

Essentially, in the mobile platform, the native app is built for that platform and may use features of mobiles like GPS and camera.

As of now, my work is only on web apps. To prevent confusion, I have modified my Gita (web) app and related blog posts to use the term 'Gita web app' instead of 'Gita app'.
