Smartphones are implementing every pursuits of life. Cell phone users are progressively moving to utilize mobile applications to internet benefits instead of conventional web programs. Smartphone applications commercial centers, Apples app store, Googles play store and Microsoft store, have made it alluring for developers to clutch applications and also made it easy for clients to find and begin utilizing numerous empowered applications rapidly. As the use of cell phone is increasing, the utilization of mobile apps with respect to education is growing. Utilizing smart phone applications has become commonplace for students, mentors and the overall population. The motivation behind this study was to provide knowledge and array of smart phone applications related to molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics etc. The educational applications offer by commercial application centers provide deep insights for students and researchers in the field of molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics etc. There is a need to develop a platform where all these apps are available for all users.
