A custom app in salesforce is a collection of tabs, objects, etc. that function together to solve a particular problem.
Console apps in Salesforce are a tab-based workspace suitable for fast-paced work environments. These help to manage multiple records on a single screen, to reduce time spent clicking and scrolling to find, update, and create records quickly.
