While many popular domain extensions like .com or .net are often already taken, .app is a relatively new domain extension and therefore has more availability to find a short and memorable domain name. A .app domain can not be used for general-purpose websites; it must be designated for mobile and web applications only to ensure that the domain remains focused on its intended purpose.
