A habit of the learning process in the classroom where students only receive lessons from the teacher makes students passive in the learning process. Therefore, students learning motivation decreases when it comes to distance learning. The development of Authentic English Learning App aims to motivate and facilitate students during the distance learning process. This system is designed for students to learn English in an authentic context in their surrounding at home. Moreover, students can collaborate with their peers and give feedback to their peers' work. The App was tested using black box testing before it used by students. Black Box testing show a Very Good performance of the App. Furthermore, The result of this study shows that in the post-motivation, there is a significant difference of learning motivation between students who use Authentic English Learning App (EG) and students who only read a book (CG) (F = 4.664, p < 0.05). Therefore, Authentic English Learning App can motivate students to learn English effectively. Moreover, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaire shows a high level of trust in each dimension (M > 4.5), It shows that Authentic English Learning App can facilitate students during Covid-19 in distance learning. © 2021 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
