The word app is a noun, and it’s short for “application.” Application in this case refers to a software application — in other words, a software program. But an app is not just any old software program — it’s a special type of software program. An app typically refers to software used on a smartphone or mobile device such as the Android, iPhone, BlackBerry or iPad, as in “mobile app” or “iphone app.” I am sorry, I thought this was common knowledge by now.
Hello, haha, I know. smartphone is just a newfangled name for cellphone, right? Something like the one im holding in my hand here, trying to hide my phone number: Regards Gyro
One of my favorite stories from my husband's boy scout days is about how he was on a campout with his troop and his friend was the only one who remembered his flashlight, so husband asked the friend if he could borrow it to go to the porta-potty. His friend's response? "Sure, just don't drop it in." Well, husband was in there and for whatever reason, he dropped it right in. He said it made the whole thing glow blue. His friend wasn't happy with him, but they couldn't stop giggling at the glowing porta-potty. And that is why I don't trust using my phone as a flashlight...or letting him use it as a flashlight...
