This is a great app for communicating with people for group projects. You can use it with iOs, Windows, Mac and Android. You can invite people to join and collaborate. This is great for group projects when you need to upload pictures and want a response w/o having to email everyone in the group or send it via group texting.
2. Flash Cards
I discovered this app a few month ago when I had over 200 hundred note cards to write. I type faster than I text so I decided to put all my notes into this app! It definitely helped me a lot and you're able to randomize the cards, swipe out the ones you've perfected and reverse the sides of the cards.
3. ToDoist
This app is pretty self-explanatory; it's a to-do-list that you can label, schedule and filter by priority. With so many classes and extracurricular activities it's SO stressful trying to keep up with everything. Breaking it down by categories and priority has honestly helped me so much. I'm able to see what's important, what I need to do further along the week and my favorite part is that it also emails you you're tasks. The emails aren't frequent that they're annoying, they just kind of alert you when your tasks are overdue. This is great because I have a terrible conscience and it pressures me to finish what I need to be doing.
4. Card Reader
Business cards are great, but who really carries around every business card they acquire? I know that if I'm not in reach of them and I need to pull one up to reference, it's such a pain to try and remember all their info (or where I put their card!) Once you take a picture of the front and back sides, the app will scan the card for their name and all their contact information. You can also add notes or tags to each of your contacts!
5. Mint
This app correlates to my other post, 4 Websites Every Girl Should Visit During Their College Years. You're able to see your bank accounts and exactly where your money is being used. It categorizes common stores to show that you've spent most of your money on "food," "shopping," etc. It shows you your net income with monthly breakdowns and how much you're spending. I love this app because it's so brutally honest. I really need something this pressuring and consistent to help me manage my money or else I'd probably be throwing it around willy nilly. I love that I'm able to set up goals too. This porting I'm pretty sure needs to be set up on the web version site but you're able to see it on the mobile version, too. I highly recommend this app for anyone!
6. MindMeister
Whenever I start brainstorming an idea, I seem to end up having 4 different new pages in my Notes app... I know when I'm on a role I just can't stop and then all my ideas end up being this jumbled mess that I soon forget about. I really like this app because of how customizable it is. It's super easy to branch off of a new idea and I love that I can change the colors, add little emoticons and pick from templates if I'm not sure what to use.
