Standalone technologies demanded the user to have a Personal Computer at least, with them to utilize their applications. However, since the platform on which an app can be deployed is just a mobile phone, the target audience for this type of application development becomes manifold. App development that targets handheld devices has now become a standard by which services reach the target audience faster since almost everyone has access to a mobile device.
