Technically it's just a short from But there is a very big difference app only contain 3 letter where application contain 11 letter so app < application and human is so lazy (expect me) so mostly human use app word rather than application

App = Software designed for a single purpose and performs a single function. Application = Software designed to perform a variety of functions
