Cultural Tip
In Brazil, borrowing English tech terms like ‘app’ is completely normal, especially among younger speakers. However, in more formal writing you might prefer ‘aplicativo’. The phrase ‘de terceiros’ sounds slightly formal; in casual conversation many Brazilians simply say ‘apps de outras empresas’ or ‘apps de fora’. Remember that ‘opção’ is feminine, so the article must be ‘uma’.
