The sampling was 136 students consented to participate in this study and 2 participants were interviewed per each class. The result was the students had relatively negative perceptions toward the use Geschool in learning English. The students mostly got confused and did not understand the materials because teachers barely gave further explanations. They also cannot enjoy the learning. The students were easy to access the material and assignment given in Geschool. However, they cannot get more access to the references or reading materials. Unfamiliar with the Geschool was also one of the problems students face and it took time to master the application.
