app

A mobile application or app is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch. Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.
Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available. Many apps require Internet access. Apps are generally downloaded from app stores, which are a type of digital distribution platforms.
The term "app", short for "application", has since become very popular; in 2010, it was listed as "Word of the Year" by the American Dialect Society.Apps are broadly classified into three types: native apps, hybrid and web apps. Native applications are designed specifically for a mobile operating system, typically iOS or Android. Web apps are written in HTML5 or CSS and typically run through a browser. Hybrid apps are built using web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 and function like web apps disguised in a native container.

    Binding MGS5 to iSmart app

    Just got my new MGS5 today. It's great BUT I can't connect MG iSmart to it as there's no "Binding" option on the settings menu. Anyone else had the same problem as my MG iSmart app is now obviously defunct/redundant.

    FIXED MG iSmart App not showing soc, temp, range etc... after refresh

    Maybe it's just me, but sometimes the app doesn't display some values after refreshing them (or, in terms of the inside temperature, it's usually a deprecated value). I think that's very annoying because if you just want to know how much range you've got left, the solution always was to refresh...
