Innovative concepts coupled with cutting-edge digital advancements have ushered in a transformative era for English language learners worldwide. This research delves into the efficacy of the WordUp mobile application in facilitating the acquisition of new English vocabulary. The application has notably organized English words based on their utility, thus streamlining the learning process. By identifying areas of knowledge deficit, WordUp tailors individualized learning pathways, focusing on one word at a time and prioritizing the most beneficial terms. This paper aims to assess students' perspectives regarding the utility of this application. To achieve this objective, a combination of focus group interviews and survey analysis was conducted among a cohort of students at Singidunum University in Belgrade. The findings underscored students' desire for innovative and engaging methods for mastering English vocabulary. The palpable enthusiasm among students suggests a compelling case for integrating mobile language learning applications into educational curricula. Notably, WordUp emerges as a preferred alternative to traditional dictionaries, offering a flexible and dynamic approach to enhancing English vocabulary skills for learners of all backgrounds.
