What are Apps in SharePoint 2013 ? From MSDN: Apps for SharePoint are self-

contained pieces of functionality that extend the capabilities of a SharePoint website

From “insiders”: Apps are stand-alone web applications,

covering a specific purpose, that are easy to install, use, manage, upgrade and remove

Available from an internal catalog or a public Marketplace

Allow devs to create rich web applications that runs outside SharePoint context

Use web standards like HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Relationship between Apps and the cloud The App-model is the model proposed

from Microsoft to implement customizations in SharePoint Online (Office 365). In SharePoint 2013 sandbox solutions

are deprecated (but you can always install and use them)
