The subject of this research is tenth-grade students at SMK Wikrama 1 Jepara, with data collected through questionnaires and a pretest-posttest procedure.

The test outcomes demonstrated an 83.8% success rate, falling within the appropriate category. The pre-test and post-test scores exhibited improvement, with the N-Gain analysis revealing a value of 0.60, signifying enhancementin writing skills. It means that using LEDY an Android application-based learning media, contributes to an improved comprehension among 10th-grade students at SMK Wikrama 1 Jepara, particularly in the area of procedure text material.
