Help Diff between a widget and an App

[marblejay]

Maybe a dumb question from a noob....what's the diff?

 

[Excedio]

A widget streams live content direct on your phone's homescreen...like a weather app.
An app is just a program ...could be also one that doesn't need internet.

So every widget is an app, but not every app is a widget

Hope that was correct and helps out!
