It is a CRUD app, though, which is why that classification isn’t generally meaningful. CRUD basically just means the app has persistent storage.

"Having CRUD operations" and "Just a CRUD app" are very different things.

The custom text rendering bit alone should have been a good cue for this distinction.

That was the point. It is a CRUD app but it is not just a CRUD app.

When people say "a CRUD app" they mean "an app that is mostly just CRUD"

I'm trying to imagine a scenario with a non-trivial app that is missing a create, read, update or delete operation. I'm coming up with so few examples that I have to imagine the colloquial use of CRUD app means just CRUD operations.
