apps
Downloadable mobile software
Apps is the plural of app, short for application—software designed to perform specific tasks.
The term became ubiquitous with smartphones: I have too many apps on my phone.
Apps range from games and social media to productivity tools and utilities.
The word has largely displaced "program" in casual speech about consumer software.
