While I'm not intending to develop for a mobile app per se, I think I have to keep it in mind as I'm learning.

One question I have in that regard is how to make an app that is most useable for the widest audience?

It really depends on what the app does, if it is something that the UX will differ greatly between a mobile device and a desktop, then I would say build a completely separate mobile version of the site. However, if it is only subtle changes then just create a responsive app that looks good on all devices.
