Abstract
The use of android smart phones has been emerging quite fast. It distracts most of the students attention from their study. While at one side it brings some negative impacts on students, on the other side it opens some opportunity to use the students deep engagement to android smart phones as source of excitement to promote physics-learning media. We have conducted research in Surabaya (Indonesia) and its vicinity to address the use of android smart phones as students physics learning source. Applying 4-D model we develop android mobile apps based physics-learning media on several topics of introductory high school physics. The physics-learning media has been tried out by several groups of students and have received positive comments from the users.
