Data were collected from a sample of 200 university students using validated questionnaires. Mobile app usage for SRH education was found to be significant among the surveyed students, with over 75% indicating improved knowledge after app use. Themes included privacy concerns and educational content relevance. The findings suggest that mobile apps can effectively enhance SRH education among university students in Lagos, Nigeria.
