× I have recently used Blinkist which is an app that you can listen or read to a summary of a book, and I've used Instagram, Tiktok and Band which is an exercise app dedicating to stretching.
✓ I have recently used Blinkist, which is an app that lets you listen to or read a summary of a book, and I've used Instagram, TikTok and Band, which is an exercise app dedicated to stretching.
Use of verb + -ing and participle forms was incorrect: 'listen or read to' should be 'listen to or read' and 'dedicating to' should be the past participle 'dedicated to'. Also 'lets you' is a natural phrasing. Ensure correct verb patterns: 'listen to' and adjective/participial phrase 'dedicated to'. Suggestion: learn common verb + preposition collocations (listen to, read) and use past participle for adjectival meaning (dedicated to).
× I am interested in self improvement and self development. Apps are like reading books, exercising or learning new language.
✓ I am interested in self-improvement and self-development. I like apps for reading books, exercising, or learning a new language.
The original used incorrect noun phrases and word order. 'Self improvement' and 'self development' should be hyphenated as compound adjectives/nouns. 'Apps are like reading books' is ungrammatical; use 'apps for' + gerund to show purpose. 'Learning new language' needs an article: 'a new language'. Suggestion: use 'apps for + verb-ing' to describe app functions and include articles with countable nouns ('a new language').
× I'm also into our social media apps like Instagram and Tiktok and also games for the time when I want to unwind.
✓ I'm also into social media apps like Instagram and TikTok, and games for when I want to unwind.
Use of 'our' is inappropriate in this context; the student should use neutral 'social media apps'. Also 'for the time when' is wordy—'for when' is natural. Maintain consistent punctuation and capitalization for proper nouns (TikTok). Suggestion: avoid unnecessary possessive pronouns and prefer concise time clauses ('for when').
× I usually find apps throughout or when I search for something specific.
✓ I usually find apps by browsing or when I search for something specific.
'Throughout' is incorrect here. The intended meaning is likely 'by browsing' or 'through browsing'. Use 'by' + gerund or 'when I search'. Suggestion: choose prepositions that match the verb (find apps by browsing) or use 'through' with a noun ('through recommendations').
× For example, when I wanted to read books, I search for apps that are related to books and make reading books more feasible.
✓ For example, when I want to read books, I search for apps that are related to books and make reading easier.
Tense inconsistency: 'when I wanted' (past) followed by 'I search' (present) is inconsistent. Use present simple 'when I want... I search' to describe a habitual action. Also 'make reading books more feasible' is awkward; 'make reading easier' is clearer and avoids repetition. Suggestion: keep tenses consistent for habitual actions (use present simple) and prefer concise expressions.
× Also, when I wanted to improve my mobility and my muscles, I search for.
✓ Also, when I want to improve my mobility and strength, I search for such apps.
The original sentence is incomplete ('I search for.' ends abruptly) and mixes past and present tense. Use present tense for habitual actions and complete the object: 'search for such apps'. 'My muscles' is better expressed as 'strength' in this context. Suggestion: always complete the verb's object and maintain tense consistency; replace 'my muscles' with 'strength' for natural phrasing.
× I will continue to be interested in self development or self improvement app because I would like to improve myself every day and these are really helped me in that specially it's more convenient and more feasible than any other ways I've found.
✓ I will continue to be interested in self-development or self-improvement apps because I would like to improve myself every day, and they have really helped me with that; especially, they are more convenient and practical than other ways I've found.
Multiple issues: plural/subject-verb agreement ('app' -> 'apps'), tense and verb form ('these are really helped me' incorrect; use 'they have really helped me'), word choice ('feasible' -> 'practical'), and punctuation to combine clauses. Maintain future intention 'I will continue' but use present perfect to describe past effects ('have helped'). Suggestion: ensure noun number matches context (apps), use correct verb forms for perfect aspect, and choose natural adjectives like 'practical' or 'convenient'.
× So these apps are important into my life.
✓ So these apps are important in my life.
Use of preposition 'into' is incorrect; the correct preposition with 'important' is 'in'. Suggestion: memorize common adjective + preposition collocations (important in, interested in).
