Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, “app” is a common loanword and is perfectly acceptable in everyday speech, though “aplicación” sounds slightly more formal. When talking about the means of a transaction, native speakers usually prefer “por” (by/through) rather than “en” (in) or “con” (with), which can change the nuance. Also, remember that “del” contracts “de + el”, so never write *de el* separately.
