The objective of the current study was to develop a mobile application to aid problems faced by students in the subject of Home Science. Previous studies have discovered that that many students struggle to understand topics related to nutrient content, nutritional practices, the digestive and absorption systems. Therefore, a mobile application known as MyNutrient was developed in accordance to the content of the standards of Food Needs, Nutrients, and Functions found in the Food and Nutrition topic in the Home Science subject. The development process of MyNutrient was based on the ADDIE model. This study later employed a qualitative method. An interview was conducted with three experts with expertise in the Home Science field and a good understanding of the design and evaluation of instructional materials. The findings reveal that MyNutrient consists of content that is aligned with the Standard Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP). It also helps users, especially students, in strengthening knowledge related to the Home Science subject through its interesting and engaging design, navigation, and user interface. It is hoped that the use of MyNutrient can improve the quality of Home Science subject in Malaysia.
