✕Common Mistakes
¿Que app debería usar?
Missing accent; 'Que' without accent is a conjunction, not an interrogative pronoun.
¿Qué app deberías usar?
Second‑person form changes the subject; the sentence is about the speaker, so use 'debería'.
¿Qué app debería usaré?
Future tense 'usaré' changes the meaning to 'I will use', not a request for advice.
¿Qué app debería usar aplicación?
If you keep 'app', avoid mixing with 'aplicación' in the same sentence; choose one term for consistency.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, 'app' is widely understood but still considered informal. If you are speaking with a professional audience, swap it for 'aplicación'. Also, using the conditional 'debería' softens the request, making it sound polite rather than demanding.
