En documentaci??n e informaci??n cient??fica son habituales las aplicaciones m??viles (apps) de revistas cient??ficas, bases de datos bibliogr??ficas o bibliotecas universitarias. Sin embargo no lo son tanto las apps bibliom??tricas que ofrezcan indicadores bibliom??tricos sobre universidades, investigadores, etc. El presente trabajo describe la pionera aplicaci??n UGRinvestiga, lanzada en enero de 2015, que presenta rankings de investigadores de la Universidad de Granada seg??n citaciones recopiladas de Google Scholar Profiles. Se ofrece informaci??n sobre las caracter??sticas t??cnicas de la app, la recopilaci??n de datos desde Google Scholar, los indicadores empleados, la cobertura actual de investigadores y una descripci??n de su interfaz y funciones. Finalmente se subraya el gran potencial de las apps como herramienta de representaci??n y difusi??n de informaci??n bibliom??trica.It is quite common in the library and information world to find mobile applications (apps) to query scientific journals, bibliographic databases or university libraries. However, there are no apps that offer bibliometric indicators about universities, researchers, etc. We describe the development and functionality of the pioneer bibliometric app UGRinvestiga, launched on January 2015, which offers rankings of researchers from the University of Granada based on citations collected from Google Scholar Profiles. Information on the technical features of the app, the data collection process, the indicators used, the current coverage of researchers and a description of its interface and functionalities are described. Finally we emphasize the great potential of mobile applications as a tool for representing and disseminating bibliometric data
