appstingy 

When a user of a lesser quality mobile device or phone no longer has enough RAM to support additional applications. The user must become selective in the applications used. This is refereed to as appstingy.

Demanding applications (such as FB or LinkedIn) which consume a large percentage of device memory is a common cause of the appstingy individual.

Appstingyness is quite common on older devices such as first or second generation iphones and android devices.

Appswinger 

A person who participates in app sharing, usually with known acquaintances to split the subscription charges. However, an appswinger can also share his or her application login details with unknown people to take advantage of group discounts and splitting of subscription costs. An Appswinger is considered to be a smart tech savvy individual who aims at taking advantage of loopholes legally while making optimum utilization of the app deals available.

Boy: I am an appswinger, I share my Netflix account password with family and friends who don't mind splitting the subscription bill with me.

Girl: Mr smartypants thats sounds like a sweet deal, can i join you too?

Appstinence 

When one is so addicted to playing apps on their iPhone, they never have time to love their life. So, they feel the need to quit their app addiction and stay away from the cruel world of apps.

Maria knew she had the choices of continuing to play apps and live alone or to quit and go on appstinence.

Appstinate 

The stubborn refusal to give into the ever-growing plague of phone apps, based on an enlightened understanding of their redundant, siloed, and often privacy-invading nature.

Used to describe someone who actively rebels against the tsunami of bloatware, refuses to be another sheep in the herd of app redundancy, and generally believes that smartphones were better when they weren't weighed down by a million "essential" apps.

Note: Appstinate individuals may experience higher levels of battery life, reduced screen time, and a smug sense of superiority when hearing complaints about storage space. Side effects may include missing out on fleeting app trends that nobody remembers after two weeks.

Mike's appstinate attitude means his phone has more free storage than the entire App Store.

While everyone else was busy downloading the newest fad app, Jenna remained proudly appstinate, recognizing that she didn't need another digital leech sucking her battery and personal data.

Just because there's an app for that doesn't mean you need it. Be appstinate. Resist the urge.
