Let’s face it, we all use and love our mobile phones. Well, some have a love/hate relationship going on, but we all use mobile phones. When using them, we tend to browse the internet a lot, look at various social media sites, visit InPlay Casino, and generally be entertained. Some people use them to listen to music while others prefer to use them to learn. The great thing about phones is that you have applications. They replace browsers and do a specific task, usually better than the browser. Here are the best science applications you can download for your Android and iOS devices.
Science Journal
You know how your phone has all these sensors which are able to measure everything from your heartbeat to the pressure in the atmosphere? Well, Science Journal can use these sensors and turn your phone into a rather small but potent laboratory. The application also serves a purpose of teaching children what you can do with a phone, as well as science. It is a multi-purpose application and it is free for both Android and iOS.
