Furthermore, the Man Whitney U Test analysis was carried out. The results showed that Smart Apss Creator and PowerPoint students had better history learning outcomes. The Mann Whitney U hypothesis test value at the Asymptotic Sig. (2-sided test) is 0.000 <0.05. In addition, the average N-Gain of 69.25% indicates that the Smart Apps Creator learning media is quite effective in improving students' history learning outcomes. Using Smart Apps Creator is quite effective in improving student learning outcomes. The study for teachers implies that using Smart Apps Creator as a learning medium can be integrated into a learning model or method that suits students to maximize its benefits.
