Top 20 Free Apps for High School and College Students

30They say there’s an app for everythingand they’re right! We’re a mobile generation, and for all those high school and college students out there, these twenty apps might make this upcoming school year a whole lot easier. 1) inClass This note-taking app is so beyond awesome, I felt ecstatic when I found out about it. This app keeps track of your courses, plus all your homework and project deadlines, sending out nifty little reminders so you don’t forget. You can even take notes on it and share those notes/other files with your classmates. 2) Google Drive iPhone / Android Every single person needs to have this app. It basically contains all the features of Google Drive on your computer, but organizes it in an easy-to-use mobile format. You can share documents with your friends and collaborate on projects; make slideshow presentations; create efficient spreadsheets; and much, much more. (Am I sounding like a solicitor to anyone else?) This is a great tool—especially if you’ve left your homework at home and need to edit or print it out at school. Everything is backed up in the same place. 3) Duolingo iPhone / Android For anyone taking a language course, this app is a must-have. It’s the #1 ranked app in â€Å"Language Learning† and is fast, free, and completely addictive. You can learn and practice Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and English through activities involving voice recognition and an almost video-game-like achievement format. Pretty cool, huh? ) Rate My Professors iPhone / Android Curious about which classes have the best or worst professors? This app is perfect for checking up thousands of student ratings of university professors all over the country. There are over 6,000 schools, 1,000,000 professors, and 10,000,000 ratings on the app. It’s very convenient, and it really gives you an insider’s perspective on a class. 15) Magoosh ACT Flashcards iPhone / Android / Web Another Magoosh appbut its great too! This completely FREE ACT flashcard app covers all the English and math knowledge you need to have committed to memory for these sections of the test. The Science flashcards can help you answer those pesky ACT Science questions that require outside science knowledge and also help you get more of a handle on the scientific scenarios on the test in general. 16) Unstuck Web This app is really cool. According to the website, Unstuck is â€Å"an in-the-moment digital coach thats ready every time were feeling stuck.† It asks you a series of questions which helps you become motivatedand, at least for high school students, prevent procrastination! It has helped the leaders of companies like Apple, Starbucks, Nike, and Disney. Check it out! 17) Audible iPhone / Android If you’re an auditory learner, this app is perfect for you! Audible offers countless audiobooks—many of which are completely free. It allows you to be more productive while still garnering the benefits of your favorite books. It’s also great if you’re a slow reader. If you listen to an audiobook while reading a physical copy of the text, you’ll find yourself a lot more engaged in the story! 18) Kno Text ­books iPhone / Android This app has tons of e-textbooks which you can highlight and annotate. Very convenient if you don’t want to lug around your school textbooks all day—and even more convenient because you can synchronize content throughout multiple devices, share notes with classmates, and add media. 19) Studious iPhone / Android Studious not only silences your phone during class (we all know the feeling†¦), but also saves notes and reminds you of homework due dates and test days. It’s kind of like the inClass app, but for Android. 20) Sparknotes iPhone / Android Admit it—you couldn’t survive without Sparknotes. Thank God there’s an app for it! The Sparknotes app isn’t on the Apple Store anymore for some reason, but for all Android users, it can certainly be a lifesaver. It comes with fifty pre-loaded study guides and hundreds more available with internet access.
