Mobile Apps, Portable Apps, Desktop Application Software
Recommendations for common Operating Systems
Mobile Apps
Apps for Smartphones. I am not only presenting software for Apple hardware, therefore this special category only for mobile apps.
Portable Apps
Portable Apps are installed in their own folder, cleanly separated from the operating system and can be moved or copied to a USB stick/CD etc. at any time and started from there on any Windows PC. Please do not confuse this with «Mobile Apps» for Smartphones, Tablet PCs and very soon coming MacBooks with ARM-CPU!
Desktop Application Software
Apple has greatly simplified the porting of iPadOS apps to macOS. Developers can now offer their apps equally for Mac, iPad and iPhone.
