Android Studio 4.0.1 program was used in the application development process. It is designed for Android operating system users. In this study, the design and development research method was used. It has been developed based on the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation steps of the ADDIE Model, which is a design model. The "Mobile Application Usability Scale", " Continued Intention to Use Scale", "Mobile Application Usage Loyalty Scale" were applied to the coaches using the application.
