This is one of the questions often asked by persons wanting more from their smartphone/tablet. You see most persons understand that in order to turn their smart-devices into useful tools they need to have "apps" for the different tasks they wish to perform or complete, but what most persons may not be able to explain is exactly what are apps?
In simple terms the word app is short for application, which are the instructions that tells your device what to do or how to behave. These days though, the word app is used almost exclusively when referring to applications or programs that are designed to run on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, but it is not wrong to call the programs installed on your desktop computer app either.
The operating system is not considered an app although it does not hurt to see it as the app of apps...lol
