Appmon

Appmon (アプモン), short for Appli Monsters (アプリモンスターズ), are digital lifeforms central to Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters. They are similar to but are related to  apps. Every Appmon has two cables somewhere on its body, which it uses to applink with other Appmon, and an Appmon Chip specific to it.

Grade
Each Appmon is assigned a Grade, analogous to the Digimon concept of level. The four current grades are:


 * 1) Standard (並 / スタンダード)
 * 2) Super (超 / スーパー)
 * 3) Ultimate (極 / アルティメット)
 * 4) God (神)

Type
Each Appmon is classified into one of seven types, analogous to the Digimon concept of attribute. The seven types are:


 * Social (ソーシャル)
 * Navi (ナビ)
 * Tool (ツール)
 * System (システム)
 * Game (ゲーム)
 * Entertainment (エンタメ)
 * Life (ライフ)

Each type is strong against and weak to another; the advantage chain is as follows: Social → Navi → Tool → System → Game → Entertainment → Life → Social.

Appli
Each Appmon represents a particular app, known as the appli field and analogous to a Digimon's type. Each appli, thus far, is unique and has its own icon, similar to the app icon on smartphones.
