App

An application program (software application, or application, or app for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, typically to be used by end-users. Word processors, media players, and accounting software are examples. The collective noun “application software” refers to all applications collectively. The other principal classifications of software are system software, relating to the operation of the computer, and utility software (“utilities”). Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately and may be coded as proprietary, open source, or projects.

The term “app” usually refers to applications for mobile devices such as phones.
