1. Curiosity
Science is everywhere and is a part of everything. However, most people don’t know all that much about science. We have the basics, like how water evaporates when heated or (in general) how the sun works. There is a whole lot more than that, though. There is always an opportunity to learn more about the world around us, even the stuff that we can’t see. These apps should help with that. Here are the best science apps for Android!
Apps feature:
Read:
Enjoy short-form, easy-to-read articles that will inspire you.
Watch:
Watch smart videos from the best hand-picked, educational content creators.
Search:
Search 5,000+ articles and over 1 million curated videos on every topic imaginable.

2. Feedly
Feedly is an RSS reader app. It lets people aggregate various news sources in one spot. There are a ton of science blogs, sites, and news sources. They can be difficult to keep up with on their own. Feedly gives you a way to keep track of all of that stuff. The interface is simple. Additionally, it has cross-platform support, some customization features, and integrations with Facebook, Twitter, IFTTT, Pinterest, and others. It's a rock solid app.
3. Isotop
Isotope is one of the newer science apps comparatively speaking. It shows you the periodic table of elements. The app also shows you information about each element, including nice animations, weight, configuration, melting point, boiling point, atomic number, and other stuff. There are 118 elements in the app. The free version has most of the features. The pro version goes for $1.99 and includes everything.
Features:
- 118 elements
- Rich animations
- High quality images for 70% of the elements (constantly being updated)
- No ads
- Search feature
- Temperature unit chooser
Isotope works for all modern phones and tablets running Android 4.4 or higher, but for the best experience, we recommend 5.0+
4. Science Journal
Google's Science Journal is an excellent app for science. It records your progress as you do various things. It may not be in-depth enough for the every day researcher. However, it's more than good enough for students, kids, and some scholars. You record experiments, progress, observations, and data as usual. This app also lets you use sensors on your Android phone to record data as well. In that, Science Journal is unique. It's also totally free with no in-app purchases.
With the Science Journal app, you can:
• Measure light, sound, acceleration, air pressure, and more using your phone's built-in sensors.
• Take notes and photos to document your science experiments. More note types coming soon!
• Connect to external sensors using select Bluetooth-enabled Arduino and Vernier devices.
• Export recorded sensor data as CSV files.
• Create automated triggers for recording data and taking notes.
• Use sonification to hear the movement of your graphs.
5. TED
TED is an excellent app for a variety of subjects. It's not educational on the face of it. However, it does feature talks and lectures from prominent people of industry, experts of various topics, and others. One such talk was about full body transplants, for instance. The app features more than 2,000 talks, an integrated podcast, cross-device syncing, bookmarks, and more. The app is also entirely free with no in-app purchases. Like Netflix, it's not a full education. However, it's definitely adding more to the table.
