Could this also mean crisps, or is it always chips/french fries?

    No. In Kenya and Tanzania, chipsi is french fries. Crisps is potato chips.

        For an American app, I'm glad to see that they accepted the British word Chips instead of Fries, as Chipsi is taken from British English.

        Is there a singular for fries, or is it only plural?

        chipsi is an n-class noun, so the singular is the same as the plural spelling.
