The shortcomings in the use of English learning Apps are as follows. First, although the external learning environment is more conducive to the integration of apps in English learning, it still needs to be further optimized. In reviewed papers, the authors find that there are still many teachers failing to fully appreciate the use of apps and appropriately combine it with traditional teaching. Obviously, the lack of teachers' proactive participation in using technology is not beneficial to students' language learning. Also, the common usages of apps for students are social chatting, entertainment, and shopping. Some still practice English skills like speaking in traditional mode. Of course, this is also the reflection of a common app's drawback: poor communication function.
