  The advent of technology and the internet has fundamentally transformed foreign language acquisition, particularly by enhancing the convenience of vocabulary learning. Consequently, mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has garnered significant attention as a beneficial resource for language learners. In light of this, the present study aimed to examine the potential impact of utilizing a Mobile-Based Flashcard Application on the vocabulary learning and retention of Iranian EFL learners. This study employed a quasi-experimental design, with participants selected through convenience sampling. The participants were 40 intermediate EFL learners who were selected based on the Oxford Placement Test. Then, the participants were randomly divided into two groups of study namely experimental and control. The participant in the experimental group underwent an eight-session treatment including learning vocabulary based on using the Anki mobile App. In the control group, however, the participants gained new vocabulary by conventional methods. Upon completion of the treatment, an immediate and delayed post-test was administered to evaluate participants' vocabulary learning and retention. The findings of the study indicated that the use of the Anki mobile application led to a significant enhancement in learners' vocabulary acquisition and retention. The findings of this research highlight the potential of educational software, specifically the Anki mobile app, as a valuable tool for English instructors to enhance vocabulary learning.
