Can I pay with the app?

Pronunciation

'App' — same as English: 'app'. In Italian it is feminine: 'l'app'.

When to use it

What it means

'Pagare con l'app' means 'to pay with the app'. Many Italian fuel chains (ENI, IP, Q8) have apps that allow direct pump payment without going to a cashier — the app selects the pump, you fuel up, and the app charges your card.
