Currently mobile applications have achieved high popularity in various aspects such as education. The use of android-based 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 guide for further research developments in this field.
