Scholar Droid
Free AppAbout Scholar Droid
Scholar Droid is a free application that lets you conveniently browse through search results returned by Google Scholar, look up book results on Amazon, add/export/import bookmarks, view/save free PDF articles to SD card and send search result links as email.
Features -
* Lets you quickly view PDF links returned by Google Scholar using Google Docs Viewer without having to download them.
* You can either download the article as PDF file or assign a bookmark to the PDF link that you are viewing using Google Docs Viewer.
* Option to export/import all your bookmarks to/from SD card as a tab separated text file.
* Email search result links.
* Can be moved to the SD card.
* Absolutely FREE (No ads, seriously).
Limitations -
* Bookmarks are only for the whole PDF document and cannot be used for individual pages in the document.
* Version history and related articles links for search results will not be shown.
* Only results with summaries will be shown. Due to this, patents and other legal documents will be excluded.
* Search categories in Advanced menu is no longer functional since on the new Google Scholar interface they have been phased out.
* HTTP Proxy support has been included but is still untested.
* May not work or display correctly as shown in screenshots on some devices.
Update (2012/10/22) - After the recent fix everything works as before. Thanks for being patient. Enjoy!
Update (2012/12/18) - Some new features (previous search suggestions, custom background color, notepad) have been added in v2.1. For best results, I recommend a HTC Desire Z (which I can fully support).

easy to search and find articles and save pdfs and bookmarks to sd. I use this and Academic which pulls articles from other scholarly search engines. This app is going to save my a** come fall! Update: fall's here and I've got a ton of essays. No Wikipedia here, need real research. This and Academic are godsends!

Please fix the following bug... On Asus Prime when going through the pages, when tapping on 'NEXT' it will jump back to page 2. This happens approx. in 2 out of 5 times. Otherwise, many thanks for this app! :-)

This app is so incredible! There are a few bugs, yes, including odd search listings (the results are random?) And a tendency to restart pages, but overall, it's amazing for science hobbyists like myself.

Glad to see that more advanced features have been added, under more (working) proxy support and advanced search options. It would be handy if search options could be specified per search, and not as a setting...

I use Google scholar all the time so really glad this exists. But frustrating not to have any of the advanced functionality, eg specifying time period of publication, that text is in title, etc.
