As college students have a desire for diversified skills in a fast-developing society, a variety of English learning mobile phone APPs appear in college students’ mobile phones. Given this situation, this paper investigates and analyzes the current status, needs, and satisfaction in the use of English learning APPs among college students. In this study, questionnaire method and interview method are used to collect related information. According to the survey, it is found that the market prospect of English learning APP is extremely promising, but there exist problems from three aspects. From the users’ perspective, it is difficult to choose an APP that suits non-English majors’ actual level. From the APPs’ perspective, leaking privacy, viruses, or advertisements are their problems. What’s more, in those APPs, professional knowledge was not systematic and rigorous, and the scheme design, ideas and methods provided were not scientific and reasonable. From another perspective, other APPs for entertainment are English learning APPs’ competitor. In response to the above problems, the author proposes improvement suggestions for English learning APPs from four aspects, content editing, cooperation section, personalization, and feedback so that bring some improvement direction for English learning APPs industry.
