App vs Shortcut

[xirochanh]

Can anyone explain me the difference between shortcut and app. In home screen, I can add app or shortcut, app can be found in app list. Shortcut should link to app, is it right? if yes, where are they?

Thank you very much

Shortcuts lead to one specific file or item such as one browser bookmark, one navigation destination, one music playlist, one person/contact... etc.

The Apps option lets you put the icon to open any of your apps on the screen.
