iCloud does not back up apps. Should you restore your device, you'll download your apps again from the App Store.

what happens if I choose not to backup an app in icloud? I want to get my icloud backup down to 5gb and not pay for icloud back, but want to know if I choose not to backup an app, does that mean that just the data is not backed up or does that mean at refresh of my phone the record of that app is not even there?
