What is a web app?

A web app is software you use in a web browser, with nothing to download or install.

A website mostly shows you things. A web app lets you do things: write a document, edit a photo, track a budget, play a game. It runs in your browser and usually saves your work to an account, so you can pick up on any device.

Because it lives on the web, a web app updates for everyone at once and works on any operating system with a modern browser. Many can also be installed, which makes them progressive web apps.
