The best education & languages apps for Android in 2026

47 apps with a live Google Play listing · checked 29 September 2026

Android phones and tablets are an affordable way to learn: language courses, flashcards, math solvers that read a problem through the camera, coding lessons, instrument tuners and test prep. This page lists learning apps that each have a live Google Play listing, grouped by subject. An app is named under a skill only when its own Play description mentions it, and where an app exists only on iPhone (such as AnkiMobile) we list the Android counterpart only if it is a separate, real Play listing.
