O.K. What is the difference between apps to services (In the text I add)?
Can I say the term "online/offline apps" or only the "online/offline services" is acceptable?

There may be some back end or behind the scenes "service" you might be using.
An "app" is generally a user facing thing.

I don't understand the phrase "user facing thing"?

OK...conversing here at Tom's Hardware.

What "app" are you using? Something on your phone, or a web browser?
That is the 'user facing' part.

There is a LARGE 'service' behind the scenes that you do not see. A large database, with hundreds of millions of rows of data. That lives in a sever farm on some other part of the planet.
All just to serve you what I just wrote.

I wish you a Good week and a Nice week.
