What happens if I choose Reset All Settings?

My iPhone is giving this popup that says: "Unable to Purchase: 'The Simpsons Arcade FREE' and 1 other item could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later." frequently when I try to update or install any app. (The app installs fine though.) Apple Care suggested I choose Reset All Settings to get rid of the problem. My question is, what exactly happens? Do settings and preferences in the apps get deleted too, or just system settings?

What do you mean by all settings will be gone but app remains? What settings? My voice text will work one minute and next it will not. If I restart phone it will work again. Told by Apple to try the reset but scared I will lose stuff.
