WikiDroid
Wikipedia is almost like the Holy Bible to most students as the basic information on almost all topics is available on it. It may be a bad idea to mention its reference in a school or college assignment as some teachers and professors are still against the idea of ‘copy and paste’ and doubt your credibility if such means are used. However, these days Wikipedia is the best place to start your research so as to gain the basic knowledge and understanding of your topic at hand. This app is great to have on your phones and its design makes the Wikipedia articles display well. The free version of this app is ad-supported but they are not really obtrusive. The ‘Pro’ version is for ‘wiki-junkies’ as it also enables them to view saved articles when one is offline.
These apps and many apps like these have made education these days easy and really simple for students.
