booking app

Digital appointment maker

A booking app is software for scheduling appointments or reserving services—restaurants, hotels, flights, haircuts, medical visits.

The term emphasizes mobile applications over websites: I found a last-minute table through a booking app.

Such apps have largely replaced phone calls for making reservations.
