Seven essential apps for students

Technology has come a long way. It is providing students with tools to assist them while they are in the learning stage to make their student life easier and more manageable. Today, we go over seven apps that can work as tools for students belonging to all classes, and luckily, most of the mentioned apps have both Android and iOS versions available.

Pocket

We cannot deny the importance of Pocket in our life. We need it to carry the necessary things which we might need later. Pocket does exactly that, except it takes care of the digital content. If you are into reading articles online and if you often come across different articles that spark your interest but lack time to read them at that particular time, you can save it on Pocket and read it later when you are no longer busy and are free to enjoy the saved articles.

Although bookmarks on browsers give you the option to save content for later, the fact that Pocket comes with tons of other useful features makes it the ideal substitute for what other browsers offer.

Flashcards are helpful for last-minute revision, memorising important details of different study lessons, or retaining information on various subject matters.
