Whether they prefer Apple^® products or Android devices, college students are some of the most high-intensity users of smartphone technology in the United States. Unfortunately, too many of them are not taking full advantage of their phones' capabilities, focusing largely on texting, music streaming, and browsing the web. However, a simple trip to the App Store^® will reveal a number of applications that help students be more productive both in and out of class.

4 Valuable Apps for College Students

1. Evernote

Your device can double as a full-service organizer when using the Evernote app. It lets you record class lectures, scan handwritten notes, organize class notes by subject, create to-do lists and reminders, and even search for keywords to help you review for tests. It’s an invaluable productivity tool that students should consider essential.

2. myHomework

myHomework is a student planner you can use to improve your studies. The free version—which includes advertisements—lets you set reminders, track assignments and projects, and plan for tests. The paid version, at $4.99 per year, includes all of the free features but also lets you attach files, access external calendars, and remove the ads.

3. Dropbox

Dropbox is a storage app that enables you to save your files to the cloud—or off-site—where you can access them via an internet connection with any device. This lets you make changes from any device without having to transfer files, and it acts as an ideal file backup in case of catastrophic loss.

4. iWork^®

Although iWork is an Apple product, it will work for any system. As a competitor to Google Drive, it’s an iCloud^®-based suite of apps that let you create spreadsheets, documents, and presentations for your classes and have them saved in one place.
