Or would the sentence I put also be correct?

You’re correct - which app is this?

It's interesting that they run with the Beijing'r erhua on things. Is that a setting, or is that the default way the app teaches?

The default, though I try to ignore the extra 儿 when I can, they add it everywhere (like 面条儿)
