an app vs a app

The correct phrase is 'an app.' The article 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, while 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. 'App' starts with a vowel sound, so 'an' is the right choice in this case.

an app

This is correct. 'An' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.

Use 'an' before words that begin with a vowel sound. In this case, 'app' starts with a vowel sound, so 'an app' is correct.
