This article presents reflections on the development of an application for smartphones based on Active Linguistic Learning (PILATI, 2017). The application, called Gramatikê, is unprecedented, free and available for smartphones and tablets. Its main objective is to support the development of explicit linguistic awareness of users, in a playful and fun way. The article initially describes the theoretical foundations on which the application is based, then presents in more detail one of the four grammatical themes addressed - the use of the sign indicative of crasis. Finally, it analyzes the preliminary evaluations of teachers about the app, obtained through an online questionnaire, which reveal a positive evaluation of this application and indicate a promising future for the area.
