This study focuses on investigating the role of mobile learning apps in improving chemistry student's understanding of chemistry in Nigerian universities aiming to assess its impact on Chemistry students' Understanding. Four research questions guided the investigation, exploring the role mobile learning apps play in students' ability to recall facts, understand Chemistry concepts, conceptualize practical and motivation to learn Chemistry. This study employed a survey research design, which enabled researchers to make generalizations about the entire population based on the sample data. The population of the study consisted of 216 students. A sample of 100 students was selected from this population using simple random sampling. A 20-item questionnaire was designed to gather information from respondents. This questionnaire was validated by the researcher's project supervisor and two other lecturers. Additionally, a pilot test was conducted to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, which yielded a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.701. Data were collected through questionnaire administration and the collected data underwent careful organization and tabulation to ensure clarity and accessibility, and were then analyzed to draw meaningful conclusions. Through a thorough analysis on the study guided by four research questions, the findings gotten revealed a positive impact of mobile learning apps in students' ability to recall facts, understand Chemistry concepts, conceptualize practical and students' motivation to learn Chemistry. The study recommends that lecturers promote the use of mobile learning applications that support memory recall and provide interactive tools for chemistry practical. Continuous research and investment are necessary to improve existing applications and align them with students' learning needs. Educational stakeholders should also promote awareness of the benefits of mobile learning applications. The study concludes that these applications significantly improve chemistry students' understanding and learning outcomes, making them a valuable tool in chemistry education.
