"app" is ambiguous.
The newer Garmins let you download apps like smartphones (these are "IQ apps").
RWGPS has a smartphone app and an IQ app.
You don't need the RWGPS smartphone app. It still a useful app for accessing your RWGPS routes, etc.
The RWGPS IQ app isn't required either but it makes it easier to download routes to your 830.
There's another IQ app, GRouteLoader, that does the same thing as the RWGPS app (and some other stuff). It's also available for watches (unlike the RWGPS app).
