Definition
An app is a software program designed to do a specific job on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Etymology
Short for "application," which in computing meant a program that helps a user perform tasks. The clipped form "app" exploded in use with smartphones in the late 2000s.
Kelly Says
“App” is so short and friendly that we forget it hides complex code and global business models underneath. A single tap on an icon can trigger servers across continents to wake up and work for you.
