Smartphone is example of communication technology evolution. At the past time, phone is only used for communication purpose, however nowadays smartphone functions are various. Although still limited, application of smartphone in high school physics is very potential. For physics learning platform, smartphone has some advantages such as it allows physics interactive illustration, it allows students to study anywhere and everywhere, it provides self-evaluation for students, and so on. In this research, we develop smartphone app as learning resource on circular motion topics. Circular motion is phenomenon that closely related to our daily life, however there are some physics quantities which need more visualization, as example is the distinction between linear speed and angular speed. This study aims to develop smartphone app which can improve high school students- conceptual understanding on circular motion. The app includes material, physics animation, exercise, and quiz.
