Top 5 Apps for College Students

27 May

Apple and Android devices are becoming more prevalent in students’ life, helping them in improving their academic career. Tablets have also gained popularity in academic settings, helping students in and out of the academic settings. With the rapid growth in mobile technology, more and more apps are being developed to get the most out of them. These mobile applications help students to get access to their course material, anywhere, anytime. However, students should keep in mind that learning requires effort and conceptualization, as there are no shortcuts to get academic success. In this post, I’ve shared top 5 mobile apps for college students that greatly help students in performing different college activities.

 

  1. StudyBlue Flashcards

While preparing for exams, flashcards can greatly help with memorization of important terms. Now there are digital options available for using flashcards to better prepare for the test or quiz. Using this smart app, students can know about the test score feedback so they can concentrate on material they have not yet studied. Students can set reminders on the app so they can better maintain a study schedule prior to exams.

 

  1. Trello

Collaboration is the major requirement of college courses. While group projects can decrease the amount of work an individual is responsible for it. It can be little bit confusing to manage who finishes the assignment. Trello is a useful app that helps students organize the assignment, by assigning each person a label and filtering responsibilities to that individual through the app. With this app, students can create deadlines, assign tasks and collaborate in real time.

 

  1. Graphing Calculator

No matter if you are majoring in computer science or needs to complete the basic requirements, you will definitely require a graphing calculator. Graphing calculator empowers students to plot multiple equations on the same graph. This app is provided with a custom keyboard and is especially organized for students to take screen shots and share the graphs to others.

 

  1. Evernote Peek

It is a great note taking tool that helps students to organize their notes, no matter, text, audio or images. This app provides students an opportunity to organize their notes into course materials.

 

  1. School Helper

It is very difficult for many students to manage a college schedule, thanks to mobile technology; students can organize their tasks with many smart apps. This app helps students manage their study schedule by completing their academic writing assignments, making notes and preparing for the exams. Students can also add widgets to the display as reminders for writing projects that need to get done.
