G'day all.
I'm not sure if a thread like this is already open, but would you care to share your favorite iPhone or Android language-specific apps here? They can be paid or free, though it would be helpful to others if you could share your opinion on a paid app that you think is really worth (or not worth) the money. Cheers! 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I use Ankidroid a lot. As far as I know it's the only computer-based SRS programme which
also syncs to an app. For me, that makes it trump all other SRS programmes. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

My favorites:
* AnkiDroid, now even better in 2.0! * TuneIn Radio for streaming internet radio. It even has a record button and a "jump back 10 seconds button". * LingQ has a nice paid app if you're already using their service. * Larousse's monolingual French dictionary is quite good, aside from the occasional crash. * LyricsTap has a rather beta-ish app that's fun from time to time. * An RSS reader of some sort is really useful, but I'm not entirely happy with any of them. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

As far as Japanese on Android goes, I use iKnow and Ankidroid for repetition, and then
JED and Aedict as dictionaries. On my rooted phone, I just have Swype installed with Japanese/English keyboards, but I've got Google's Japanese IME for use on the non-rooted tablet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Instead of RSS you could try and use Twitter, install it, create an account, and start subscribing to news providers in the target language. You're up to date, and making progress at the same time. For German I would recommend the Langenscheidt dictionary and also the Duden (although I was able to find the Langenscheidt only for iOS). Started using ankidroid 3 days ago, beware, it's free on Android but 19 eur on Apple store. I like using it - although the iOs interface is a lot poorer than Androids'! Let's not forget the dictionaries from Slovoed for WinMO! A great resource! 2 persons have voted this message useful |
