A Web App is simply a website (uses the same technology as a computer website: HTML, CSS, JS) optimised for mobile devices (phones/tablets) that look like a Native App, using a Responsive Layout for providing an optimal experience for all mobile devices and orientations (landscape/portrait).
Responsive Layout = Fluid Layout (width %) + Flexible Image (width %) + Adaptative Layout (Breakpoints)
