To do this, an analytical, quantitative and descriptive investigation was carried out, where the variables were: The use of educational applications for the learning process in a group of students as an independent variable and academic performance as a dependent variable. The following research problem was formulated as a question: To what extent does the use of Android Educational Applications have generated a positive impact on the academic performance of students in the professional career of Computer Science? To substantiate the question, investigate the applications from the beginning, the characteristics, the benefits, and also the damage it can cause, in addition to its application in education and its importance. A sample of 163 students was chosen, who were subjected to a multiple review survey of the academic influence of the use of educational applications.
