Explanation:

Lets explain utilities apps :

Utility apps are likely the kinds of apps that are taking up the most room on your screens right now!

These are handy tools that you carry with you that help you perform simple tasks.

Examples of utility apps are:

1) Calculators

2) Note-pads

3) Communication apps

4) Weather apps

Utility apps are typically used frequently (4-5 times a week) but have shorter session times.

This is because the user doesn’t want to spend time playing around in the app – they came to solve a problem quickly so they are in an out in a matter of seconds.

Therefore, the goal for most developers of utility apps is how to increase frequency of use

Answer 2

We can broadly categorize app as:

Application or "app" is a program or a group of coordinated and co-related programs for the end users/consumers. Broadly and legally it can be classified into two categories:

1. Closed source

2. Open Source software ( including freeware, proprietary software etc)

Closed source

1. It is a software that keeps  the source code safe , secure and in a encrypted.
2. Implying that the user can’t copy, modify, or delete parts of the code without any consequence and legal action. It can result in the voiding of the app warranty as legal repercussion.
3. Closed source creators are the ones that generally handle the repairs, updates and development of the application software, This is disadvantageous in some situations as they could end support and make the software void even.
