IAEA's Isotope Browser
A very nice and smart android app having nuclear data on Masses, Q-values, Half Lives, Parity, Electric and Magnetic Moments, Radii and decay ratios of many many radioisotopes (more than 4, 000). A very useful tool in pocket for those in nuclear industries and the students of nuclear science and engineering.
