Quale app mi consigli di prenotare?
The preposition 'di' changes the meaning to 'which app should I book', which is not what you intend.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, people often use the English word 'app' without adding an article, especially in casual speech. When speaking to someone you don’t know well, you might prefer the more formal 'Mi consiglia' instead of 'mi consigli'. Also, Italians love regional apps (e.g., TheFork for dining) so mentioning the type of reservation can make your request clearer.
