[[Software]] is '''user-friendly''' if it is easy-to-use especially for persons inexperienced with computers. The word has come to be applied to other technology as well, such as [[VCR]]s.

Various features can be used to make software more user-friendly, such as [[menu interfaces]], online help and automated "[[troubleshooting|troubleshooters]]," and a simple layout. [[Apple Computer]] was well-known in the [[1980s]] for its drive to make computers and software more user-friendly, and it popularised the notion of a "windows"-based [[graphical user interface]], which was picked up by [[Microsoft]] with its [[Microsoft Windows]] product.

For the concept of user friendliness in computer systems, see [[human-computer interaction]] and [[computer and software usability]].
