Question

distinguish between desktop app and mobile app​

Answer 1

Answer:

Desktop Application

A Desktop Application is a computer program that runs locally on a computer device, such as desktop or laptop computer. Desktop Applications have traditionally been limited by the hardware on which they are run. They must be developed for and installed on a particular operating system, and may have strict hardware requirements to be met to ensure that they function correctly.

The large Screen size with fixed navigation bars is quite effective for discoverability, since users may find new sections.

Desktop Apps can make full use of cursor interactivity: hover text or cursor-triggered animations. This allows Desktop Apps to feature entire screens full of pictures, with descriptive text appearing on hover.

Desktop content can appear in a traditional multi-column format—just like print content in newspapers and magazines. This offers a lot of flexibility for designing layouts and positioning text, images and UI elements.

Judging by the results of a Gallup Panel survey, users prefer Desktop Application for longer, more involved tasks.

Mobile App

Native Mobile Apps are built for a specific platform, such as iOS for the Apple iPhone or Android for a Samsung device and is installed directly onto the device itself. They are downloaded and installed via an App Store such as the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and have access to system resources, such as GPS and the camera function. Mobile Apps live and run on the device itself. Snapchat, Instagram, Google Maps and Facebook Messenger are some examples of popular Mobile Apps.

Mobile Apps must conserve screen space everywhere they can, due to their smaller screen size. Two interesting trends arose from this obstacle: minimalism and the hamburger menu. Both were so successful, they seeped into desktop design as well, where they are stylistic choices rather than necessities.You can’t hover or rollover on Mobile Apps, but you have an infinite slate of gestures literally at your fingertips. Swiping, shaking, or poking brings a whole new set of opportunities to Apps.

Once content reaches a certain length, Mobile Apps need to use long scrolling. And that’s not a bad thing! Mobile users actually prefer continuous scrolling, and this technique conserves screen space while making interaction more fun with gestures. Like minimalism and the hamburger menu, long scrolling is another mobile design trend that has transferred over to desktop because of its popularity.

Unlike desktop screens, Mobile Apps can switch between portrait and landscape views at will. For designers and website owners, this is a blessing and a curse. Two screen orientations allow for more functionality and better user personalization, but it can often require twice as much design work.
