Answer 1

It sounds like you are either in the website or in the iOS version of the app.

A website can be just an HTML document, delivered statically by a server. This type would not be a web app. A website can also be served dynamically with additional functionality (e.g. hooked up to a database, API, etc.). This type is usually loosely deemed a "web app".

There are also desktop apps (e.g. if you are using Windows, it might be an .exe file).

There are also native apps (e.g. if you are using iOS, it might be downloaded through the app store... Android equivalent would be the Google Play store).

Shorter version: An app (or application) is a program. A website can be a document that leads to a (web) app.

Hopefully that gives you a general idea (months later).
