Téléchargé une app pour observer les étoiles

I understood that the french for ' an app' was 'une appli' but this wasn't given as an option. Am I incorrect?

the ' correct' French expression is ' une application ', but both ' app ' and ' appli ' are listed as abbreviations by Robert. 

At least on most recent visit last year, in everyday speech I heard ' une app ' but not ' une appli ', from computer nerd for-a-living great nephew in France.
