Currently mobile applications have achieved high popularity in various aspects such as education. The use of androidbased applications in the world of higher education is argued to be relevant to improve the quality of teaching and
learning processes. This is a preliminary study to evaluate the long-term impacts of the use of android-based applications
in teaching English especially in vocational higher education. In particular, this study presents a simple survey of several
TOEFL android apps in terms of their features, advantages and disadvantages. It is expected that the survey will be a
