Abstract: At Qassim University, the Blackboard (https://lms.qu.edu.sa) Learning Management System (LMS) is used. An exploratory study was conducted on 105 randomly selected students attending Qassim University. Of these, 91 students (87%) affirmed that they did not use the LMS as a study aide. This paper describes the means by which the MIT App Inventor language could be used to develop a mobile application (app) for the Android operating system. The app, Quizrevision, enables students to review course knowledge and concepts. An online survey was used to investigate students’ perceptions and gather their feedback regarding the use of Quizrevision as a study aide, as compared to the LMS. An achievement test was used to examine the improvement of students’ scores. Data was collected from 114 students taking the Phonetics course (Arab 342) in the Arabic Language Department (ALD) of Qassim University; 63 of them (55.27%) were male, and 51 (44.73%) were female. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, and t-test were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the Quizrevision app supported the students’ achievement. There was a positive attitude towards using the Quizrevision app, as well as higher engagement in using the app as compared with using the LMS. In addition, findings confirm that students prefer using m-learning apps rather than using LMSs for reviewing course concepts and knowledge. Furthermore, student scores improved after using the app.
