- mrmondo 9y agoOh that’s a good point you have there and app is just an abbreviation of Application which I think philosophically was a subset of Programs / Programmes.
- memsom 9y agoIt's always Program; in British English Program and Programme are not interchangeable and mean something quite different.

That we use the two distinctly is pretty powerful and the ambiguity of using one spelling is removed.
- lokedhs 9y agoThe Atari ST operating system used .APP as well. This was in 1985.
- cmrdporcupine 9y ago.app was rarely used though. Most things used the .prg extension.
