The result of the move request was: pages moved as requested, but with Clover (application) instead renamed to Clover (mobile app) with a hat note added. Harej (talk) 15:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply



– The most recognisable name for application, according to common use, is app - also per Dyp (app), Prismatic (app), Secret (app) and Whisper (app). GregKaye 03:45, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose – No such word exists. This is not the encylopaedia of argot. RGloucester 17:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, but the nominator's rationale could use a little bit of clarity. It seems that the disambiguator "app" is the unofficially-established standard for mobile apps that aren't video games. "Application" seems to refer to computer applications when used as an article disambiguator. Steel1943 (talk) 00:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

When you have a title at the length of Clover (application), WP:CONCISE is irrelevant. The only issue is getting things right. GregKaye 19:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
That's a new interpretation of WP:CONCISE that I respectfully don't agree with. Red Slash 19:53, 11 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Comment mixed findings:
Tinder uses both app and application. see: site:https://www.gotinder.com app OR application
Books gives similar results for both app and application
(Clover OR Flook OR Tinder) application "mobile phone" gets "About 1,170 results"
(Clover OR Flook OR Tinder) app "mobile phone" gets "About 1,210 results"

App Defunct edit

Apparently the company went out of business. The app no longer loads and the website brings you to a merchant POS system. 73.100.100.252 (talk) 00:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
