What have you learned through phone or computer apps only? Do you think it's effective? Or do you still think other learning resources are required to learn something well enough?
I think this depends on your individual learning style. If you are a visual learner, sometimes apps can be helpful. I personally haven't learned anything from apps except that attempted sexting on kik is really funny.
google maps - geography
skyview- general astronomy
first aid - self explanatory
twitter - trump (lol)
real estate app - local housing prices
reuters- news
I think the immediacy of apps can be very useful when learning. I remember using a periodic table app when I was studying chem at college.
Mostly I've just learned how to do more things online, though I have taught myself a lot of magic tricks, studying techniques and other things with apps.

- When to cut the critter's rope so it catches all the stars... Yeah it was effective, I unlocked the next level.
- What time my train/bus leaves..... Yeah it was effective, I got to my destinations in time.
The only "learning app" that I am currently using though is Mondly. It's a surprisingly well made language learning app that is Visual learner friendly. It seems to be more effective than language learning cd's or programs that I've done before.
I think you always need multiple learning sources to truly get something down. Else, what's to say that you are doing it the best/right way ?
I also tend to learn other skillsets with online tutorials. For digital content of a creative nature, you will actually learn more efficiently with those online tutorials and paid for online courses than in a school. the only difference being that schools give you a bachelors degree.... not that such a thing means much in creative industries.

There's this phone app "I love hue". It presents color prisms from beginning to advanced. Teaches you how to strength hue perception. I like that it forces you to learn how to identify subtleties in color hues or tones. And it's just fun to look at colors.
