Application software

Application software, also known as "apps," refers to computer programs designed to perform specific tasks for users, such as word processing, email, web browsing, or video editing.

Unlike system software, which manages and controls the computer hardware and operating system, application software is intended to help users accomplish their personal or professional goals.

There are many types of application software, including productivity apps, multimedia apps, gaming apps, educational apps, communication apps, and more. These software applications can be developed for various platforms, including desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

Examples of popular application software include Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), Google Chrome, Spotify, and various social media apps such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
