Best Apps For The Students

When times are stressful and you need help with your new class in school and university, its hard to expect things around you. All this can be made easy with mobile devices today and you have tons of information and services that could make you feel at home and tucked in.Many of the following apps can help you with reports, class timings, staying on track with coursework and assignments and much more.Here are some of those apps that can work for you like a buddy.

That paper planner you’re toting around? It’s so 1999. Move into the new millennium with myHomework, a digital version of your favorite day planner from last century. Available as an app for Android, Chrome, iOS, and Windows 8, myHomework lets you track assignments, projects, tests, class schedules, and more. Enter an assignment, and myHomework will know when it’s due based on your class schedule. If your teacher uses Teachers.io, the app also allows you to receive assignments and messages directly. myHomework is available in a free, albeit limited version; you can get more features by opting to receive ads and upgrading to the Premium version for $5 per year.

Want to make sure you get to class on time and squeeze in a little extra math practice as well? That’s exactly what Math Alarm, a free iOS app, can help you do. Set the alarm for the time you need to rise, and you’ll have to answer a math problem in order to turn it off. The problems aren’t tricky—think basic addition—but they are enough to rouse your brain so that you’re more likely to wake up and not hit the snooze button. There is a snooze option, too, just in case you need it. I do wish Math Alarm made it slightly easier to set an alarm, as you can do so with fewer taps on the built-in iOS alarm clock. But that’s a minor complaint about an app that, overall, is just a fun diversion.

Staying organized in school can be pretty difficult. You have to keep up with homework, papers, projects, tests and all sorts of stuff. Sometimes pen and paper can do the job quite well, but it’s not for us techies. I personally prefer to be able to use my iPhone to stay on schedule, and finding apps that are just for that can be quite difficult.Here’s where inClass comes in. By letting you set terms, courses, teachers, tasks and even take text, audio and video notes during lectures, it makes your school life a whole lot easier. More after the jump.

First thing we need to do is to set up our term. In order to add assignments or take notes, you need to have some courses configured. Doing so is easy: tapping on the bottom right tab takes you to the list of terms. inClass comes with one preconfigured, so tap on “Edit” to add courses.Tapping on “Add New Course” lets you configure a new course, where you can set the name, code, color, location, schedules and the instructor. Note that you can configure multiple class types, like lectures or labs, with different locations, schedules and instructors for each one.
