buggy software

Error-prone programming product

Software that contains bugs—errors or flaws that cause unexpected behavior, crashes, or incorrect results.

Buggy software may freeze, lose data, or behave unpredictably: The app is so buggy I can't even log in half the time.

The term implies software released before adequate testing or quality control.
