Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'app' is widely understood, but in formal writing you’ll often see 'aplicación'. Regional preferences differ: in Spain people frequently use 'TheFork' (El Tenedor), while in Latin America 'OpenTable' or local services like 'Rappi' are common. Remember that 'reservar' can refer to restaurants, hotels, flights, or even event tickets, so the context may affect which app you’re actually asking about.
