Though you can use navigator object to serve your purpose, I would suggest you to use modernizer for the same.

Using the navigator object you can access these data fields

navigator.appName  <- gets app name may be misleading so also get the appCodeName
navigator.appCodeName; <-- alternate name
navigator.platform; <-- platform the user is on
