APPS TO HELP YOU STUDY EVERNOTE According to the iTunes App Store, this free application allows its user to take notes and photos of a class syllabus or assignment. It also gives the user the ability to create their own to-do lists, voice reminders, sync notes through all of your devices, and more. iSTUDIEZ PRO This $2.99 app is a digital planner and more. It manages the user’s schedule, course details, professor information, etc. The app also contains a feature that will track grades, as well as GPA throughout the semester. The app also claims to keep the user always up to date, so they are never behind on assignments. This app is also available in a free, ‘Lite’ version, called iStudiez Lite, which is essentially the same thing only limiting the user to only managing one semester at a time, five classes, and a limited amount of assignments and instructors to keep track of. COFFITIVITY For some students, something about the atmosphere of a coffee shop gets their creative juices flowing. This free app offers everything that a coffee shop has to offer besides the smell, without the hassle of trying to bear the wintry weather and waste gas by driving to an actual coffee shop. With three different atmospheric noises to choose from, the user can adjust the volume of the sounds, as well as add their own music to the background. The app also allows the volumes of the two to be adjusted separately. 8TRACKS Though not strictly for educational purposes, sometimes trying to study in the quiet makes one want to go crazy. This free app offers millions of playlists, put together by its many users. Simply type in “study,” a genre of music, etc. and search the various playlists. It takes away the hassle of getting distracted by picking out music while studying or doing homework.
