app crash
Program stops abruptly
An app crash is the sudden, unexpected failure of a software application, causing it to close without warning.
The program stops responding and typically disappears from the screen, sometimes losing unsaved work: I lost my entire document when the app crashed.
Crashes result from bugs, memory issues, or conflicts with other software.
Users distinguish crashes from freezes, where the app becomes unresponsive but remains visible.
