GALE has free apps for Apple and Android devices for searching their products.

JSTOR will also automatically recognize your mobile device and present a modified format for your screen size.

LexisNexis (for NexisUni) has apps for searching on mobile devices.

SAGE automatically redirects you to a mobile version of their journals and search pages.
