Abstract: We live in a fast-moving environment, and technological advances are occurring at such a pace that we have trouble following. With the introduction of smartphones, the mobile market has changed drastically in just a few years, and the number of people who own such devices is growing rapidly, especially among young people. A new mini-software market called apps (short for applications) has arisen with the smartphones and is rising at an incredible rate. Apps can be easily accessed online. This research aimed at investigating the availability of devices teaching English as a second or foreign language. In addition, the aim is to analyze and compare some of the applications and figure out what they are learning and what they are doing well.
