Because Web Apps are basically webpage the HTML section allows you to add a wide variety of content to your App just as you would on a traditional website by embedding it using the relevant code or widget for a booking form, calendar, or even a weather display.
Taking advantage of these tools can engage your users, offer valuable insights, and make a simple App something much more functional.
What are Widgets?
Applications that are embedded into the body of websites are called widgets. Widgets come in many forms: clocks, currency converters, contact forms, slideshows, search fields and comment forms. A widget adds functionality to your site by taking advantage of applications developed by others for a specific purpose. Many widgets are free or work on a freemium model.
When we talk about these kinds of website tools, we usually talk about both widgets and plugins. Knowing which one is which isn’t as important as knowing that with the right information you can easily put them to use in your Apps.
Typical examples of widgets and services you could add to your App are;
Google map
Google calendar
Cloud storage
Scheduling calendar
Booking form
Promote Your Facebook content
Add A Facebook Like Button
Add A PayPal Cart Button (or Stripe or Square any service that offers website integration)
Connect to your Blog
Review form
Weather display

When you add code to an HTML section the default display option is usually for the embedded widget to be Left Justified in your app like this:
If you want your widget to be centered, just surround the iframe code with <center> and </center> like this:
