You can picture an app as one little program living on your phone or tablet, each made to do one kind of job — a tile you tap to open maps, messages, or your bank. The word is just the short, everyday clip of 'application.'

可以想成手機或平板裡的一支小程式，每一支專門做一種工作——點一下圖示就打開地圖、訊息、或銀行那塊小方格。這個字其實就是 application（應用程式）的口語縮寫。
