I thought Chinese us the letters APP

[Winston298006]

I never hear or see mainland Chinese say 应用。It's either 软件 or [the annoying] "A-P-P," which people must have thought stood for three words.

Mandarin speakers can't pronounce hard consonants at the end of syllables. (Though many other Chinese languages/dialects do have final consonants besides n, and ng.) Mandarin also doesn't have the short a sound. Younger Chinese who've studied English don't seem to have this problem but use the same pronunciation as everyone else. All the English abbreviations and acronyms I've noticed in China avoid syllables ending in hard consonants. APP, DIY, KTV, CD, DVD...

I always find the A-P-P thing hilarious. I hear it all the time these days, especially in commercials.

應用 doesn't mean app，app should be 應用程式

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Could it be that you're unfamiliar with the fact that "app" is an abbreviation of "application"? My Chinese-English dictionary gives "应用程式" as "application" and "应用" as "app", and Google uses "应用" as "app" too.

What? App is app in chinese...

Not App but APP. It's pronounced as the names of the three letters, not as a single word as in English, and it's spelled to reflect that pronunciation.
