How many apps have you got on your phone? How many apps do you regularly use on your phone. If you're anything like me, you probably only regularly use a handful of apps on a regular basis.

So what is your favorite app? I wonder if it's the same as the one described in this short dictation.

app
ap Listen
Meanings
noun
  • an application, especially as downloaded by a user to a mobile device.
    E.g. I've just installed the app on my phone
  • an application or application form.
    E.g. Ezra's helping her with her college apps
noun
  • an appetizer.
    E.g. have you tried the fennel salad app?

The usage of the word app appeared to come about largely with the advent of smart phones. Prior to that, in the context of computers, we would use the word application when talking about a program. However, it seems now that app is largely used whatever device is being used.

My favorite app is WhatsApp. I use WhatsApp every day to talk and send messages to my family. I can also use WhatsApp to send photos and videos. When I am using WhatsApp, I feel really connected to my family and friends. WhatsApp is really easy to use and I can use WhatsApp when I am walking to work or riding on the metro. I turn my phone off before I go to bed every night as I don't want to be disturbed by friends and family when I am sleeping!

Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
