Recommendations from my dad:

The dictionary app on the iPhone is called “Sanskrit dictionary based on Monier-Williams, Apte…” by Creative Stride.  It is part of their “Academic Room” apps.  I’m not sure if it exists for android phone too.
There are two apps by Krishna Varma that are great — one is the Gita and the other is called Sanskrit Primer.  Again, i don’t know if they are available for android phone too.
The iTran program for Windows computers is great — it allows you to type in devanagari easily.  It is available at the OM Karananda web site: http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator99.htm for iTran99 and http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm for the more updated iTran2003.
There is also a large library of literature written in iTran at http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_1_index.html
