> **泣きながらじゃなくて、こんな風に言ってごらん**

" _Say it like this, don't say it while crying_ "

  * I seem to understand how it works I think. I think I got confused since the Vmasuながら verb is the secondary action in the sentence. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.

My try

Vmasuながらじゃなくて - Why is じゃなくて used with ながら？
じゃなくて here is simply _not_. It can be replaced by ではなく(て).

Your example is fine, but アプリをする may not be idiomatic. A safe verb would be
使う, or if the app is game-ish, then やる would work as well.
