Application Software is that part of computer software which is specially designed for the end users. These programs accomplish the specialized tasks of the user. these softwares are designed and written for a specific personal, organizational, or processing task.

The term software can be divided into two general classes: system software and application software.

Systems software consists of low-level programs that interact with the system at basic level like the operating system, compilers

while applications software is a software written to perform a specific task such as a word processing, spreadsheet analysis, or database management.

for example word processor, spreadsheet, computer game,etc.

A better way to understand is the relation between an electric fan (application software) with the electricity generation plant (system), the power plant is of no use unless its energy generated is supplied to the electric fan which provides a specific service to the user
