App

English (en)

App
App is an abbreviated form of the 
word "application." An application 
is a software program that's designed 
to perform a specific function 
directly for the user or, in some 
cases, for another application 
program. 

Originally software that you 
installed on a computer as a program 
was labelled as an application – or 
the shortened name of app. However, 
the common usage of "app" versus 
"application" now generally refers 
to the distribution through app 
stores where the download and 
installation happens with a single 
action.
