Mobile Websites vs Mobile Web Apps.
In order to easily understand and answer your question you should first understand what an app is. An app is short for an application which simply mean a software designed for specific use such as a photo editor or a word processor.
Now that we know what an app (application) is, we go to the difference between a "website" vs a "web app".
A website is simply a page or a set of pages on the web (online accessible via web browser) which presents information int he form of images, videos, text and other content. A web app is an app (application) that is also on the web (online accessible via web browser) just like a website. But their similarity ends there. While a web app is technically a website, the purpose is different. All web apps are technically websites but not all websites are web apps. Websites present information while web app is used as a tool for specific tasks. We can define a web app as an online software or a web based program.
now we come to the word "mobile", they simple mean that they are accessible and designed for mobile devices.

There is a significant difference between an app and a website. An app is actually a software or an application, which is more commonly called an app.
A website is actually a page or a set of pages on the web, which can be accessed online. There can be images, videos, text and all sorts of content on a website. However, when that app is downloaded on cellphone as its mobile version, it is often called a mobile app or simply an app. So even if there is a similarity between the two, an app and a website are actually two different things. Website is all comprehensive and can be browsed anywhere, a mobile app is strictly designed and accessible for mobile devices.
