Since the late 2000s, apps have been vital for our smart devices to be able to properly function. The word app is an abbreviation for “application” and it is used to describe software programs for mobile devices.

Apps can be used for audio, video, games, news, chats, mail, social media, and more. They provide information and connection to companies, jobs, and various opportunities to the public.

Many apps are produced almost each and every day. According to the statistics of Mindsea.com, there are currently 4.3 million apps in the Apple App Store and 2.9 million apps in the Google Play Store.

You might find it surprising to know that there is a day that observes the benefit of these daily tools. On December 11, National App Day celebrates the essential presence of apps that offer creative possibilities to everyone. Founder of National App Day CJ Thompson created this day back in 2017 with the help of Platinum Edge Media.

On National App Day, we realize how important apps are and wonder what we would do without this technology. Some people underestimate the significance of apps and should consider researching more on their capabilities. You can participate in the observance of this day by sharing these facts, your favorite app, and how apps are useful on any social media app.  “Join the conversation using #NationalAppDay, and be sure to include why you couldn’t imagine life without your favorite apps” (Nationaldaycalendar.com). After all, how many apps do you have on your smart device?
