Mobile application-based animated videos are considered essential tools for learning of language, transforming traditional methods into more interactive processes. Animated videos are normally used for disseminating information and presenting learning. However, the utilization of mobile application-based animated videos is one of the rare uses in learning Arabic vocabulary. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the students’ opinions who learning Arabic vocabulary using mobile application-based animated videos at Malaysian secondary school students. A qualitative descriptive method with semi-structured interviews was conducted. The six students were interviewed to obtain their opinions on this application. The findings indicated that the mobile application-based animated videos are an effective learning tool that motivates students to learn vocabulary enjoyable. The students’ responses are very positive about this application and they believe it can help them to learn Arabic vocabulary more easily than the traditional learning method. This tool can increase student enthusiasm and motivation, facilitate students to learn and memorize easily, and make the students feel happy as they do not need to imagine the story of the narrative text.
