JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 2, 2015 #3 I do agree. But when I hear App I think of a small program focused on doing one thing that runs on a tablet or mobile. Do you ever hear someone saying to install that App on your computer? Desktops seem to = programs while phones/tablets seem to = apps.
