SharePoint 2013 Apps PROS and CONS

Apps for SharePoint are self-contained pieces of functionality that extend the capabilities of a SharePoint website. Apps integrate the best of the web and SharePoint; they are targeted, lightweight, and easy-to-use, and do a great job at solving a user need.
Users discover and download apps from the SharePoint Store or from their organization's private App Catalog and install them on their SharePoint sites.
In this post I will list out some of the Pros and Cons of Apps in SharePoint 2013.

PROS

• Protects data  since they run as isolated
• Avoids security breaches
• Controlled Security access per App
• Deployed to own App Web
• Different Hosted options.
• Easier to upgrade.
• Advantage is that the Code is out of sharepoint
• Reduction of server outages and downtown
• Admins can Monitor apps
• Multiple development platforms supported for creating Apps
• Apps will work with Cross device

CONS

• Need to Create a Subsite to install App
• You need new Dns entry for each App (if required)
• Corporate catalog is paid or needs to be purchased
• Apps cannot talk to each other

Index fragment '0' has no available cells. Cell statuses: [Cell I.0.0 on node IndexComponent1: Cell status is set to 'not available' (cell out of sync or seeding)]

And in the Search administration page "Search Application Topology section, the Index Partition is "x" symbol.

Solution:

We have to run Index Reset and run full crawl.
