The same code base for Ionic apps can work on many platforms because it is based on web standards and common APIs that are shared across these platforms. That said, Ionic Framework is designed and tested for mobile platforms. Refer to [Browser Support](../reference/browser-support.mdx#mobile-platforms) for the platforms it officially supports.
One of the most common use cases for Ionic is to build an app which can be downloaded from both the [App Store](https://www.apple.com/ios/app-store/) and [Play Store](https://play.google.com/). Both iOS and Android software development kits (SDKs) provide [Web Views](webview.mdx) which render any Ionic app, while still allowing for _full_ Native SDK access.
