Aesthetic refers to the theoretical study of beauty and taste. It is an essential part in attracting the interest of users as it could sway the users’ first impression of the object and may well be the deciding factor in getting the user attention. Aesthetic is utilized in many fields including the education field such as learning via mobile platform, called mobile learning (m-learning). M-learning refers to the use of portable or mobile devices in education. In today’s environment, m-learning is an integral part in learning and is indispensable. From the higher education to the primary school, m-learning is used in various learning activities for example as the medium for assignment or for note archive. The availability of the mobile devices such as mobile phone and tablet today initiate the prospect of development for many new learning applications. Thus, this study intent to investigate the design principles used in existing mobile applications based on the literature reviews of previous studies. The findings of this study are the list of the design principles applied in those previous studies. Overall, this finding will enable to highlight the design principles that usually used in mobile applications and the effect on the usage of the application itself.
