Mobile apps are available in mobile app stores. There they can be purchased free of charge or for a fee and are available for download to smartphones. They must be newly implemented for each smartphone operating system. Unlike mobile apps, which must first be downloaded to the smartphone, progressive web apps( PWA) are websites that have comparable behavior to mobile apps, but are used directly.
