App is a short form for application. An app is like a tiny computer program that does specific things. It’s a shortcut for tasks, games, or tools you use, just like icons on a cell phone screen. Clicking on an app opens it, helping you do what you want quickly.

Each app has a specific purpose and makes it easier to do things on your computer or phone. It’s a bit like having a collection of handy tools, and you can open and use them to perform different tasks, from sending emails to looking at pictures or reading news.
