Introduction

An application program (app or application for short) is a computer program designed to perform a group of
coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Examples of an application include a word
processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, a media player, an aeronautical flight
simulator, a console game or a photo editor. The noun application software refers to all applications
collectively. This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the computer.

Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately, and may be
coded as proprietary, open-source or university projects. Apps built for mobile platforms are called mobile
apps.
