What are Web Apps?

Web Apps are applications running in the web browser of your device. They are using web technologies like JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5.

New application interfaces implemented along with HTML5 enable new features for web apps like:

• store data on your device (WebStorage)
• run without internet connection (Progressive Web Apps)
• identify device location after user confirmation (Geolocation API)
