UK Parliament has produced some free Parliamentary Apps for Android, iPhone and iPad.

My Constituency shows key statistics for each constituency, including election results, unemployment, youth unemployment and population.

ParliQuiz is produced by Parliament’s Education Service, and is great for older students and teachers learning and teaching about politics, Parliament and democracy. It aims to demystify Parliament, and will be useful for anyone with an interest in testing and improving their political literacy.
