Currently, mobile learning is an inseparable part of education since students use their mobile devices ubiquitously daily. This is also true for foreign language learning where smartphones and their applications are used for practicing all four language skills and language structures. The purpose of this article is to survey the needs of university students as far as the functions and content of a mobile app for foreign language learning are concerned. The methodology was based on an online questionnaire survey, which was conducted among 103 students of the University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, in the period between 30 October 2020 and 24 January 2021.
