5 Best Study Apps for College Students

By Sherry Yi on June 21, 2013

Owning a smart phone has its perks. Here are some useful apps for any college student:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. College Packing List by Slug Books LLC. Pretty straightforward: the app offers “a stress free moving day – you don’t want to forget anything.”  When you first open it, all of the pre-set items will be on your checklist. Each item comes with a little tip or reasoning. You can customize what you want to add or remove onto the list. I mean, it would be pretty gross to take a dorm shower barefooted. Just sayin’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Itunes U by Apple. A product that has successfully merged technology and education. The app features courses from Ivy Leagues and more, including all the supplements a student would need: audio lectures, videos, books, documents & presentations. You can take notes and highlight passages through iBooks. With more than 600,000 free lectures, you’re bound to find a subject that will spark your curiosity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. inClass by inClass, Inc. For those with a busy schedule, inClass’s here to help. You can keep track of all your courses, tasks and instructors. Not only is this app an organizer, but a multi-notetaker as well– through video, audio and photos. And to add spankin’ shine, the app also has background recording, iTunes file sharing, retina display ready and more. A perfect way to prioritize– and get those A’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. College 101: Tests & Studying by Samantha Widmer. How do I become popular? Which classes should I take? How do I avoid the Freshmen 15? These are only a few of the questions about college life essentials this app tackles and handles marvelously. The navigation’s intuitive and the layout’s straightforward, reflecting the tone of its articles. Though it may say “Freshmen Tips,” College 101 includes valuable information for any college student at any point of their academic career.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Bribe Your Friends by Junglee Applications LLC. Sometimes you just can’t do it alone. Make your bribes Facebook official with Bribe Your Friends, an app that can sync with your Facebook and basically offers a bribe to whoever you choose (as long as you’re Facebook friends, of course). You could triple the impact by sending the offer through email, text message or straight through the app itself. One user stated, “This is really fun! I always need help with math assignments. I recently bribed the math genius in my class and it worked!” How well will this actually work? The power’s in your hands now.
