Oftentimes, a program have different names depending on what platform it run on.

Windows tried to merge software with apps when they first launched Windows 8 a couple years back, but my general knowledge is that software runs on computers and applications runs on portable devices.

We know that software is a set of rules or instructions that execute a particular job on a computer. There are two types of software one is application software and other system software.

System software: 

A software that directly executes on a computer. Such as OS (Operating System ), which operates directly on a computer.

Application software:

Software that executes on a computer with the help of system software. Such as MS-office ( Microsoft Office ), which executes on a computer with the help of OS.

Now:

Application means application software which is available on both computer and portable device like mobile. In shorthand notation, we write it as "Apps".

In recent days, we use this word many times for mobile.

Software is a collection of instructions that allow a computer to carry out a task. Applications are the individual programs or tools that make up a software package.

Software and applications are both types of computer programs, but the terms have different meanings. Software is a general term used to describe any set of instructions that can be executed by a computer, while an application is a specific type of software that performs a specific task. Software can be thought of as a collection of related programs, while an application is a specific program designed to carry out a defined set of tasks. Applications are typically specialized programs that are designed to run on specific hardware, such as a mobile device or PC. In contrast, software often encompasses a wide range of programs, from basic programs like a word processor to complex systems like an operating system. In most cases, applications are used to perform specific tasks, while software can provide a platform to build applications. For example, an operating system is a type of software, but it also provides the platform for applications like web browsers and media players.

The terms "software" and "application" are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between them.

Software refers to a collection of programs, data, and instructions that are used to operate and manage computer hardware. It includes the operating system, utilities, compilers, and other tools needed to run the computer.

On the other hand, an application is a specific type of software that is designed to perform a particular task or set of tasks. Applications are often created to be user-friendly and have a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to interact with the software easily. Examples of applications include web browsers, word processors, spreadsheet programs, and photo editors.

In summary, software is a broader term that encompasses all computer programs, while applications refer to software designed for specific purposes
