Is it possible that apps may damage battery?

I have download some app (radio). And after I've used it - my battery always discharge very fast and smartphone was a very hot. When I uninstall this -- it's okey. After a week my charger chip was damaged. And it's happened in second time with another battery with this application.

It's certainly possible for an app to use excessive battery, if it's poorly coded, or if it's malicious (e.g., if it's mining cryptocurrency using your phone). How do you know your charger chip got damaged? Which radio app was it?
