Application+Software

Application software is computer software designed to help the user to perform specific tasks. An example would be media players or accounting software. Application software can be purchased seperately as well as bought with computer system software.

Bespoke software can be made for particular companies or users to fit their specific needs for a project or idea although it comes at a cost higher than software off shelves in shops.

Some application software are general purpose and some are special purpose software. General software is when the software has more than one function for example a presentation package. Special software is when the software has one purpose only such as a photo editor.
