These self contained software programs have eased our lives considerably by providing products and services that were in the realm of science fiction in the not too distant past.

In fact, statistics confirm their widespread usage and the amount of revenue earned. For example, the total number of mobile app downloads worldwide in 2017 was a whopping 178.1 billion and the expected growth in revenue by 2020 is pegged at 189 billion US dollars (Source: Statistica).
