No matter what course you\u2019re taking, study apps can be useful. They help you organize notes, plan your study schedule, and grasp concepts you\u2019re learning with ease. Be on top of your game with these apps that make studying simple and even fun!<\/p>\n
SimpleMind<\/a> is a cross-platform Mind Mapping tool<\/a> that simplifies the process of organizing thoughts.<\/p>\n PROS OF THE APP:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/span> <\/strong>After researching the app, I suggest investing in the SimpleMind Pro version. In the Apple App store, you only pay $7.99 for a lifetime license, and the amount of features you get compared to the free version is significant. When it comes to organization, mind maps are a huge asset. I love the idea of being able to create them virtually and not worry about papers getting lost or accidentally thrown away (or in my case, coffee being spilled on them). In the Android App Store, SimpleMind Pro has 4.7\/5 stars, with almost 18k reviews.<\/a><\/p>\n AVAILABLE VIA:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Different plans are available for different platforms, but you can download the app via iPhone, Android, macOS, Windows, and for iPad.<\/p>\n PLANS & PRICING:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You can also choose to do a 30-day free trial of the Pro Version.<\/p>\n Quizlet<\/a> provides learning tools, like flashcards and study games, to students.<\/p>\n PROS OF THE APP:<\/strong><\/span> The major pros of Quizlet are the study modes it offers; I\u2019ve listed a few below. Also, check out this list of comprehensive study modes.<\/a><\/p>\n RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0I have used Quizlet for years and have personally seen the benefits of using the tool to prepare and study! A word of caution: be careful as to which other user-generated study sets you use. There are helpful ones, but some are not always 100% accurate. I typically make my own to ensure the information is correct\u2014plus creating the study set helps me soak in what I\u2019m learning! Quizlet has an average of 4.5\/5 stars out of 234 reviews<\/a> on G2.<\/p>\n AVAILABLE VIA:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0iPhone, Android, a browser extension (such as Google Chrome), and the web.<\/p>\n PLANS & PRICING:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You can get a 7-day free trial of either paid plan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MyStudyLife<\/a> is a cross-platform planner designed to help students manage their assignments, exams, revisions, and study schedule.<\/p>\n PROS OF THE APP:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Thousands of MyStudyLife users have found the app to be helpful; it has 4.4\/5 stars, with almost 53k reviews<\/a>, in the Android App Store. There are numerous recommendations similar to this one, where a user said, \u201cThis app is amazing. I was so disorganized with my work, always forgetting due dates for assignments, but ever since I installed this app on both my phone and laptop, my life has been easier. Now I am always up-to-date with my work, and when I get a new assignment, it takes 10 seconds to add it to my tasks. I absolutely love this app and would recommend it to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n AVAILABLE<\/strong> VIA:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8, and the web.<\/p>\n PLANS & PRICING:<\/span> FREE.<\/strong><\/p>\n EverNote<\/a> is a tool that helps users take and organize notes effortlessly.<\/p>\n PROS OF THE APP:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0As someone who has tried several note-taking methods, I like EverNote for several reasons. As a visual learner, I love that I can insert images into my note-taking space. The images give me a visual aid for what I am studying and help me recall topics more easily. EverNote is also easy to sync across devices, making being on the go a breeze! I recommend comparing<\/a> both the Basic and Premium plans to see if you would use Premium\u2019s paid features, as they are more in-depth and may not be necessary for basic purposes. On G2, 1.6k+ users have reviewed<\/a> the app, giving it an average 4.4\/5 star rating.<\/p>\n AVAILABLE<\/strong> VIA:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, browser extensions (Mac, Windows), and the web.<\/p>\n PLANS &<\/strong> PRICING:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Check out a side-by-side list<\/a> of plans and features.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Forest<\/a> is a productivity app designed to help users stay focused and minimize screen time. Open the app, set a timer, and \u201cgrow a tree.\u201d Your tree grows while you focus on tasks, but if you exit out of Forest to get on another app, your tree will die.<\/p>\n PROS OF THE APP:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Forest was a lifesaver in my college days and has continued to help me be productive in the workplace, especially while working from home. I can personally attest that seeing the tree die makes you feel unproductive, but then helps you get motivated to focus on tasks\u2014the perfect combination! You can also use it on your phone or desktop, and then study or work on the device you aren\u2019t using, which is helpful. Forest users are BIG fans of the app; it has a rating of 4.9\/5 stars, with 21.2k reviews<\/a>, in the Apple App Store.<\/p>\n AVAILABLE VIA:<\/span> <\/strong>iPhone, Android, and a browser extension (Chrome).<\/p>\n PLANS & PRICING:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Forest is a one-time payment of $1.99 for iOS and free for Android.<\/p>\n While this is not an \u201capp,\u201d I recommend the website Citation Machine<\/a> to students.
