Some of the examples are:

  1. Desktop Software Application
  2. Mobile Application
  3. Web Application
  4. Database Software

Advantages of Application Software :

  1. Application Software packages are written by software architect and the content are of great quality.
  2. They have large availability and generally cheaper when compared to the other packages.

Disadvantages of Application Software :

  1. Some software that is designed specifically for a certain business, may not be compatible with other general software because each software serves a different purpose.
  2. The development of software is time-consuming because it needs constant communication between the developer and the customer. This delays the entire development process, which can lead to more spending on utilities.
