Best Apps For Students
Being a student can be hard, especially when you have several different subjects to juggle at once. Luckily, thanks to new technology, there are plenty of apps out there specifically designed to make the life of a student easier. We look below at the 7 best apps to help you with your studies.
SelfControl
A useful app that allows you to focus on your studies rather than your social media channels by blocking out certain websites for a particular amount of time. Once you block these sites it’s impossible for you to access them until the time you previously set is over, even if you restart your computer or delete the app!
GoConqr
GoConqr is one of the most important studying tools available, allowing you to create digital Mind Maps, Flashcards, Notes and even Quizzes. This, alongside other features, means this handy app will act as a revision tool wherever you go.
Babylon
Specifically designed for students learning foreign languages, Babylon is an online translator that offers over 75 different languages. Learning a new language can be tough, but this app is sure to make the process more enjoyable.
Evernote
Evernote is perhaps the most useful note taking app available, and is used by students and business people alike. It allows you to create different notes and notebooks, and you can sync this information across multiple devices. Gone are the days where you have hundreds of sheets of revision notes; now everything is stored in one place making this the ultimate study tool.
Dictionary.com
Dictionary.com has over 2 million definitions, synonyms and antonyms stored in the app, and comes complete with other useful features such as Word of the Day, search history and optional in-app purchases such as an encyclopedia.
Alarmy (Sleep If U Can)
This app will either be your best friend, or your worst enemy. Appropriately named the “world’s most annoying alarm app”, you either have to shake your phone, solve a math problem or take a picture of the place shown on your phone to silence the alarm. While it’s bound to get on your nerves, it will be sure to get you out of bed and on with your studies.
TED Talks
TED Talks are global conferences featuring guest speakers, all organised under the ethos “Ideas Worth Spreading”. Featuring some of the world’s most interesting, influential and inspiring people, this app will allow you access to some of the greatest thought leaders of our time, all with new and current ideas that you can use in your studies.
Downloading and using these apps will help you to keep you on top of your education but remember it’s still important to study and revise! If you need help with this get in contact with us.
