Many users utilise all kinds of apps for varying reasons including to help them with tasks such as paying bills or buying tickets to games and educational resources and apps have become extremely popular with mobile device owners. They can range from free to paid and have minimal or millions of users.

The app will need to function correctly, be simple to use, attractively designed and meet the clients requirements. The app will need to be made from scratch and be packaged so others can install it on their mobile device. Any media you use should be creative commons or original creations.
