True or False: A web app is an app that you access instead of a web browser.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. Not sure
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Web apps use web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and run inside a browser or a browser-like engine. You access a web app by loading a URL in a browser, not by launching it without a browser. Even when a web app is packaged as a progressive web app and saved to a device’s home screen, it still operates through a browser engine and connects over the web. Native apps, in contrast, are installed directly on the device and don’t require a browser to function. So the statement is false.
