I would also count what is commonly called Ajax into the dynamic part.

I'm currently building a test mobile applications (POC) using
MIT App Inventor that first scans a product label (QR) and then
makes Ajax calls to our VMS system to fetch information for
display on the Android phone. Could be used on the factory floor
to quickly lookup the status of an item. A lot of fun and it
definitely makes “the old VAX” look better… 😊
