A quick definition of allowed application:

An allowed application is a request for a patent filed by an inventor with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. It includes a description of the invention, drawings, and a fee. When an application is allowed, it means that the examiner has determined that all claims meet the requirements for patentability. The applicant is then notified and a patent is issued after the required fee is paid. Other types of patent applications include provisional applications, divisional applications, and international applications.

A more thorough explanation:

An allowed application is a patent application that has been reviewed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) examiner and found to meet the conditions for patentability. Once an application is allowed, the USPTO notifies the applicant through a Notice of Allowability and a Notice of Allowance. The patent normally issues after the applicant has paid the required issue fee.

For example, if an inventor files a patent application for a new invention and the USPTO examiner determines that the invention meets the requirements for patentability, the application will be allowed, and the inventor will receive a Notice of Allowance.

Another example is when an inventor files a provisional patent application and later files a non-provisional patent application based on the provisional application. If the non-provisional application meets the requirements for patentability, it will be allowed, and the inventor will receive a Notice of Allowance.
