Mobile learning has emerged as a new and promising learning modality, providing more interactivity and flexibility to learners, tutors and teachers in carrying out educational activities and practices. However, in spite of the benefits, the existing applications still have several issues and challenges to be addressed, such as the quality evaluation of the resulting mobile learning applications. Aiming to bridge this gap, in our work we have defined a set of requirements for mobile learning applications, by means of a mobile learning catalog proposal, entitled ReqML-Catalog. The current catalog is an evolution of other previous versions with several improvements. It was firstly established from the results of systematic literature reviews previously conducted and also based on the knowledge of domain specialists. In order to improve and evolve the catalog, more domain specialists and already established models were considered aiming to standardize the terms used. In general, users were enthusiastic and positive about the ReqML-Catalog and its importance, indicating positive evidence on its use. The adoption of ReqML-Catalog can assist in the design and evaluation of mobile learning applications, definition of reliable software tests that show the applications' limitations and drawbacks and elaboration of requirements for the applications. Using ReqML-Catalog, it is also possible to compare different mobile learning applications, verifying which catalog items are included in each one.
