The study was conducted from March 2017 to April 2018 in Cavite State
University – Tanza Campus, Tanza, Cavite to develop a mobile application that
can help students manage their school activities, schedule, and tasks. Specifically,

it aims to: 1. determine the information and features that should be included in
the application; 2. test the developed application in terms of functionality,
reliability, efficiency, and portability; and 3. evaluate the usability of the
application in terms of understandability, learnability, operability, and
attractiveness. After thorough research, the application was designed to

include the student’s class schedule, details of researches, reports,
assignments, and projects, quiz and exams, as well as school events and holidays.
These information were organized into modules namely Home, Courses,
Quiz and Exam Schedule, Tasks, and Holidays and Events. The application
reminds the students on each tasks and activities he or she should be doing or
attending before the scheduled date or deadline. The application was
developed using Android Studio for the user interface and source code and

Adobe Photoshop for the design. After the development, the application was
subjected to testing. The results showed that it is functional, reliable, efficient, and
portable because it met every expected behavior in each test. The
application’s usability was then evaluated by 50 students of Cavite State
University – Tanza Campus. The results yielded a 4.76 mean rating, which
has an equivalent descriptive rating of “Excellent.” This proves that the

application can be useful to the students in managing their everyday schedule,
tasks, and activities.
