Therefore, in this research, a solution is designed that can be used to solve problems that occur by utilizing digital media that can be operated online. By using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, the researcher applies the MIT App Inventor to the android application development process which aims to introduce types of spices and as a marketing medium for spices. The RAD method has several stages, namely Requirements Planning, User Design (Prototype, Test, Refine), Construction and Cutover. This android application will be applied to the "Km 5 Market" to test its usefulness to suit the purpose of being a solution to the problem of spice sellers. After that, this android application will be used for several other traditional markets in Indonesia so that this android application is can named "Go Rempah" which will be a source of information and marketing of spices originating from Indonesia.
