You have probably heard this statement many times before: “there is an app for everything!” If you are a student, you’ll find that this is true. You are fortunate enough to belong to a generation of students who don’t need to think about giving up when they encounter a problem. Start using the apps and websites listed below; your life will become much easier thanks to technology!

1. Unstuck

Are you stuck in one of those moments when everything seems impossible and you’re unable to study, write projects, or attend classes? This is the tool you need! Unstuck will ask you questions with one purpose: to motivate you to stay on track and stop procrastinating.

2. Kno Textbooks

This app, available for iPhone and Android, enables you to save tons of money on textbooks. You can find the materials you need in the form of an e-textbook, and annotate and highlight directly in the app. The content can be synchronized across multiple devices, and you can also share the notes with your classmates.

3. Rate My Professors

If you’re heading off to college and need to start thinking about your course schedule, the information available at this website will help you make the right selection. The professor who teaches the course is a very important factor for your overall success. When you see the ratings and comments provided by real students, you’ll get an insider’s perspective on what a class would look like.

4. 30/30

It’s not easy to create a schedule that balances work and rest in the most effective way, but the 30/30 system works well for most students. The task manager will organize your time into effective sessions of work and some break time in between. When you get used to the productivity system, your planning and self-monitoring skills will be boosted.

5. AP Flashcards

Flashcards seem like outdated studying equipment? This Android app will change your mind. You’ll find flashcards from different AP tests and save a lot of time that you would spend in taking notes and making cards. AP Flashcards offers pre-made cards for tests in biology, statistics, history, economics, languages and literature, geography, sciences, and government and politics.

6. Studious

You’ll find this app effective in many ways. First of all, it will silence your phone during classes, so you’ll never be embarrassed when your parents try to reach you several times in a row. Studious will also remind you of the test and homework due dates; and you can use the app to save notes as well.

7. iFormulas

When you get overwhelmed by the number of formulas you need to memorize, this is the app you should use. The featured categories include algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, chemistry, trigonometry, and electrical.

8. Power Nap

Taking power naps is important when you need to recharge your batteries before getting back to studying. You can enhance your power nap thanks to this app, which enables you to customize wake up graphics, wake up sounds, and other features.

9. The Homework App – Your Class Assignment Planner

With so much homework you get on a daily basis, it’s easy to lose track and forget to complete some of the tasks. This app will prevent that from happening. The convenient, visually appealing design will help you stay on schedule and complete all assignments on time.

Let’s face it: being a student is fun, but it’s not easy to manage all those responsibilities on your own. The tools listed above will turn you into a better achiever.
