I'm on the lookout for any decent self-study applications for my Google Android smartphone to help me brush up on my German on my daily commute. Can anyone recommend any for me?

Are you looking for apps made especially for German, or also general flash card apps? What level of German are you looking for? E.g. would German audio books count? – Tim N Jun 18 '11 at 12:29
Pretty much anything will do, though I'm particularly interested in anything specific to Android phones. My German is fairly basic though not exactly beginner -- I studied it at school for about 2 1/2 years in the 1980s. – jammycakes Jun 18 '11 at 12:41
Check Babble mobile. – user508 Jun 18 '11 at 16:01
That's for the iPhone. I'm looking for an Android app. – jammycakes Jun 18 '11 at 16:46

A trusty companion for any German learner, especially english, is the LEO dictionary, and they have quite a good Android App.

It's not an app to take up your spare time, but it is very handy for answering questions your have when you are out and about.

It looks good, but as you say, it seems to be more a dictionary than a tutorial app. – jammycakes Jun 24 '11 at 22:52
Yep. Hopefully some other wicked apps are added to this big-list question. – BudgieInWA Jun 25 '11 at 5:05

I recommend using Learn German Fast By Yapping Puppy on google play. It covers lot of topic areas and has lots of German verbs conjugated. As well there are 2 games that come with it. Try it here for FREE at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yappingpuppy.com

It depends on what you want to train (grammar, vocabulary...) One of my favorites is the free trainer "King Of German Article".

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devtrigger.article.free.german&hl=en

It helps you to train nouns and the right gender with it. You can also train the different cases Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ. As for making grammatically right sentences you must know the right gender, this app helped me to improve my German a lot.
