According to our IT consultant (who I met earlier), the abbreviation started out as an application file small enough to run on mobile devices. However, Microsoft seem to have started using the same term for PC software such as word.
It now seems to have become a generic term for consumer software, as opposed to professional office software. Very confusing, but when was life simple. LOL

 

A time many years ago when there was no such thing as computers, emails, smart phones, Apps, or all the rest of that electronic paraphanalia. Want to contact someone ??? - write a letter and wait a week or two for a written response !!!

 

Those were the days....... I wonder how Eugene and Tatyana would be communicating in 2020. Tchaikovsky must be turning over in his grave.

 

Your it consultant is only partialy right, the term app dates back to the 1960's and was (and still is) an abreveation of the word application also known as a software nowadays the term app is mostly used about mobile apps Mobile app - Wikipedia
but in reality the term app can be used about any type of software, though it rarely is since the term didn't seem to gain much popularity untill the "invention" of the smartphones aka the merging of several technologies in to one.

OH and to OP welcome and Hi

 

Thank you for your reply, it roughly confirms what I had deduced.
The consultant who I mentioned actually works with Jane, so running 11 megawatts of servers and their private networks for the UK government, his knowledge of consumer devices is somewhat out of his remit.
