How to create web apps out of website in Google Chrome for Android
Google Chrome for Android, has a lot of unique features that you may not be knowing. It has hidden features that are mostly under testing by the developers and will only be available to you if you become a developer. One of its great feature which I love is creating web apps from website. It is not a hidden feature though and also not under testing. Using this feature won't require you to download apps from Play Store instead you could use their websites to make web apps.
So, to make this easy for you, here is a video regarding the topic:

Now, for readers, I am also providing a guide from which you can understand it more clearly. Here it is:
Step 1 : Open Google Chrome Browser in Android and go to any mobile friendly website. For example, www.news.google.com
Step 2 : Now click on the three dot menu on the top right corner of the browser. If this is not available then you can also click on the recent app button.
Step 3: Tap on Add to homescreen and then give a specific name for your web app and then click Add button.
Step 4 : It will be added to your homescreen. Go to your homescreen and open the web app having the name you saved with.
It will be the same as an app that is available in the Google Play Store. Run this and it will give you an app experience. You can also try of other mobile friendly websites like www.plus.google.com , www.flipkart.com etc. Please note that this only works for Google Chrome for smartphones.
