Coming to mobiles we will hear often terms like native apps and web apps, or even hybrid apps.
Types of Application Software:
Word Processing Software: Allows users to create, edit a document. Example: MS Word, Word Pad etc.
Spreadsheet Software: Allows users to create document and perform calculation. Example: Excel, Lotus1-2-3 etc.
Database Software: Allows users to store and retrieve vast amount of data. Example: MS Access, MySQL, Oracle etc.
Presentation Graphic Software: Allows users to create visual presentation. Example: MS Power Point.
Multimedia Software: Allows users to create image, audio, video etc. Example: Real Player, Media Player etc.
Commercial Software: Installation in number of computers is specified by the software vendor/producer. User only buys the license to use it. User does not buy the software. He/she may not be allowed to install a software more than one machine.
Shareware: May be free of charge or the software company may charge a nominal fee. Users can download these kinds of software from the Internet. Example: Real Player full version, MP3 player full version, different games downloaded from he Internet.
Freeware: Software that are given away for free by the vendor/producer. Example: Real Player trial version, MP3 Player trial version etc.
Installed Software: Software you buy from market or download from the Internet to your computer. The software is physically installed in your computer and runs from your Hard Drive. Usually these kinds of software are wrapped inside a CD case when you buy it from market. Example: MS Office, Games etc.
Web Based Software: Software that are run from the Internet. Example: Online games, Virus protection software that you download from Internet etc.
Native Apps: The term "native app" is often mentioned in the context of mobile computing.
Native apps live on the device and are accessed through icons on the device home screen. Native apps are installed through an application store such as Google Play or Apple’s App Store.
They are developed specifically for one platform and can take full advantage of all the device features. They can also incorporate gestures either standard operating-system gestures or new, app-defined gestures. And native apps can use the device’s notification system and can work offline.

Web Apps: 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.
Web apps are not real applications. They are really websites that, in many ways, look and feel like native applications, but are not implemented as such. They are run by a browser and typically written in HTML5.
Hybrid apps: Hybrid apps are part native apps, part of web apps.
Because of that, many people incorrectly call them “web apps”. Like native apps, they live in an app store and can take advantage of the many device features available. A web-to-native abstraction layer enables access to devise capabilities that are not accessible in Mobile Web applications, such as the Accelerometer, camera and local storage.
