Abstract	The purpose of this research was to develop guidelines for the production of an educational mobile application and to assess the opinions of its users (students and teachers). The study included 10 students with learning disabilities and 10 teachers from private special education rehabilitation clinics who work with them. Teachers were asked to incorporate the COSMA (comprehension strategies mobile app) into their weekly reading comprehension instruction. Teacher and student views of the COSMA were obtained through semi-structured interviews after they had used the mobile application for four weeks. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the interviews. Students appeared to be enthusiastic about using the COSMA and wanted to continue working with it. In addition, it was well received by the participating teachers, who reported noticing improvements in their students' performance after using the app. The findings are discussed in greater detail.
