As you prepare to head back to college this new semester, make sure to download these easy-to-use apps in the app store to help you reach your most successful and easiest semester yet!

Chegg

Chegg originally became known as an alternative to spending thousands of dollars on new textbooks each semester, but as they have grown, so have their services. They now offer step-by-step textbook solutions for problems you may have when working on a homework assignment, they have an app specifically to help with hard to solve math problems, easy to use and easy to make flashcards and more all in your phone. Chegg also has tutoring options where you can receive help through the app whenever you need it and if you need a side job while you’re in school, you can apply to become a tutor on their website in any subject.

Evernote

If you need to be more organized with your notetaking skills or step up how you take notes in long lectures, Evernote is the perfect app available on both your phone and laptop to help keep your notes organized and effortless. Evernote has been around for years, but it seems like more people are utilizing everything this app has to offer now, especially with their ability to store images of notes that we know every college student’s phone is full of. This app keeps your notes and images all in one place to keep you organized and structured and even helps you manage your projects and tasks.

Wunderlust

If you’re constantly on the go or your days are stacked with classes, Wunderlust is something you have to have on your phone in order to organize your busy schedule. Not only can you plan your day to day schedule, but you can also make various to-do lists to help prioritize everything you need to finish in a day. Files, images, and notes can all be added to make tasks even more detailed with as much information added in as needed. Notifications pop up on your phone as others do so you’ll never miss your next task, class, or shift!

Grammarly

This app is something that everyone needs and you can even use Grammarly in college and beyond. I found it through College Consensus, a school ranking website where they shared that this app isn’t just available on your phone, but it can be added to Google Chrome on your laptop meaning that all your papers and notes will be free from error! “Grammarly is a Chrome extension that won’t save your life, but it will save your dignity. Grammarly checks grammar, spelling, and mechanics for anything you write online, and even helps you improve it with progress reports on your most frequent mistakes, and how to stop making them.”

Flipd

Flipd was recommended to me through CNet and is a must-have for students that are constantly on the go and forget to take a breather in busy days or focus on work without getting distracted by social media or whatever the new trend is. Flipd has various options like unplugging and using focus tracks, mindfulness coaching and more to help breathe in stressful and busy situations. They also have an option where the app can lock your phone while you’re studying and even low-key judges you if you chose to opt-out of the lock early which, I promise you, is truly encouraging to stay off your phone for the full amount of time. This app was great during finals season and helped increase productivity and decrease stress.

While most of these apps are free, many of them have premium options and add-ons you can purchase in the app. Make sure to pay attention to what you’re downloading and choosing to use and thank you for reading my list!
