app
Downloaded mobile program
App is short for application, specifically software designed for a particular purpose.
The word became ubiquitous with smartphones: I downloaded an app for tracking my runs.
Apps range from games to banking to social media.
The term now extends beyond phones to any focused piece of software: a desktop app, a web app.
