Apple apps

Hudson Alpha iCell
This app can be used to help students to review or learn parts of a variety of types of cells. This app is free and requires no registration.
Duolingo
This app can be used for review or for individual personal study of vocabulary, grammatical elements, verb conjugation and many other things. The app does require registration but is free. The app is interesting since it has an element of achievements and rewards that will hopefully motivate the student to learn on their own time.

Nearpor allows for registration through a google account.
