Back To School: 8 Apps That Every Student Should Have

Summer's gone

The lazy summer days are gone and, it's time to go back to school.

Thankfully, the era when students spent hours in old, dark libraries covered with dust and cobwebs is long gone and forgotten. Everyone has an up-to-date smartphone or a tablet which helps you boost your studying processes and stay on top of your classes.

We have prepared a list of apps that will help you thrive on campus and make your smartphone a real personal helper. Let's get started!

Scanner Pro

Do you need to scan a sheet and mail it at warp speed? Scanner Pro is on the job.

It is the best app for scanning your documents, transforming them into clean and editable PDFs and mailing or adding them to your Dropbox or Google Drive.

There is no need to take photos with your phone camera . Technologies, used in Scanner Pro, allow you to create snow-white and distortion-free documents like a desktop scanner.

Moreover, if you're doing the same sort of work all the time, you can set a specific workflow. For example, if, you're sending most of your documents to a professor, you can create a workflow of scanning, uploading to Dropbox and mailing to that person. Done!

Dropbox

You can forget about losing your textbooks or important files.

Thanks to Dropbox , you're able to upload literally limitless numbers of files (documents, images, audio and video files) to cloud storage. Once this is done, you can access them from any place or device, such as a public college library or your dean's personal computer. The only thing you need is internet access.

This is the quickest and most reliable way to share a file with someone else, for example, you can share a test sheet with your group. Indeed, it's an indispensable service for studying.

EasyBib

What takes most of your time when writing a research paper? The blessed bibliography. EasyBib makes it simple.

EasyBib automatically creates citations for your bibliography in seconds. Enter the name of the book, and EasyBib will generate a few options to choose from and make the citation for you.

EasyBib has a wonderful web service (which is pretty good), but only the app allows you to take a shot of a book's bar code and generate a citation for it. The app also supports different types of citations (for example: books, research papers or newspaper articles).

Documents

Documents is the hub app for accessing all of your files.

If you are using your iPhone or tablet for studying (downloading files, unarchiving, moving/copying), you know how hard it is to do that out-of-the-box. It can be messy to keep track of where certain files are located, especially if you're using both local and cloud storages. Documents works perfectly well with all of them

You can also view and edit Word and Excel documents, annotate PDFs, serf the web in the built-in browser, listen to music and read e-books with one app.

After the last update, you can use picture-in-picture mode, which allows you to do several things at once.This is quite useful for students.
