# App

App is a retarded capitalist name for application (i.e. basically a fancy computer program); it is used by soydevs, corporations and normalfaggots (similarly to how "coding" is used for programming). This word is absolutely unacceptable and is only to be used as a joke -- an "app" is after all nothing but a parody of a program.

Anything called an "app" is expected to be bloat, badly designed and, at best, of low quality (and at worst malicious).

The word seems to have come to popular use along with the spread of the original iPhone, i.e. sometime in the second half of 2000s.
