What do the numbers fx. Qex5 mean?

I do understand that kf5 means King to f5, but then there are those moves like Qex5 which I do not understand because there is no X on the board. Can someone please explain it to me? (All those numbers are in the analyze section in the chess app)

You'all sure it don't say Q x e5 ?  X means captures, so Q takes the pawn on e5 would be my guess.  OTOH folks are always complaining about the apps so maybe it's another bug and that's what you're seeing.  I just use a computer.  Here's a maybe helpful link:
