The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Nothing obvious on a Google book search. Maybe it's a protologism. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:26, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Two points, nobody says application any more, it's always abbreviated to app, so much so that some people no longer know what it's short for. Secondly, this is surely SOP, as shown by sources that use the words in a different order e.g. US-based taxi application Uber is now making their services available in Utrecht. Even when the words are in this order, it is generally with the more grammatical mobile such as Uber, the widely popular mobile application taxi service, is launching a new ferry service in East Boston and Graeter’s is partnering with the mobile application taxi service Uber Technologies to deliver ice cream to your doorstep.

Yes - it's the service provided by a taxi app. SemperBlotto (talk) 17:05, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
