A recent article in U.S. News highlights 11 mobile apps of interest to law students. Many of the important apps highlighted in the article include legal research platforms (such as WestlawNext, Lexis Advance, and HeinOnline) and legal news apps (ABA Journal and SCOTUSblog). Another interesting app that is listed is Law Dojo, which is a "series of games that test a player’s knowledge on subjects like civil procedure, torts, contracts, criminal law and more." Three quizzes are available in the free version, and players earn points by answering questions correctly.
Interested in more information about gaming in legal education? The Gallagher Law Library Blog from the University of Washington recently posted on this topic, including a bibliography of scholarship in this area.
For a comprehensive guide to legal mobile apps, consider the UCLA Law Library's LibGuide on Mobile Applications for Law Students and Lawyers.
