A mobile app is used to perform a function or task, aiding the user, creating a new experience. An app is not a mobile website.

If your business wants to create an app, think carefully about what it is that it actually does, if it is doing something the same as what your website does then the chances are you are wasting you money.
A mobile website is simply your website, design to work on mobile devices such as iPads and phones. Not all desktop websites work well on mobiles, users simply exit these sites and look elsewhere. If your website doesn’t work well, the chances are you are loosing customers.
