If you are talking about the reference to app store apps, with the + sign next to an app indicating it is a universal app - it means that the app will work and is optimized for any of the iOS devices - iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. If you buy it and install it on one device - you can download it to all of your iDevices at no charge and it will work on all of them in the proper screen resolution and screen size. You do not have to buy an iDevice specific app for each device.
