It’s widely believed that these days, there’s an app for anything and everything – and we agree! We conducted some research, and found 5 apps that are guaranteed to make your life at university a lot easier – you can thank us later!
1. Notability
Ever forgotten a really useful example or anecdote used by a lecturer? With this app, you’ll never worry about that again. Notability allows you to download relevant PowerPoint presentations or other files, and customise them. You’ll be able to hand-draw diagrams, take pictures and insert them into your slides, and record your lecture then play it back, watching your notes unfold in real-time. Highly recommended for iPad users.
2. Tiny Scanner
With this app, you’ll be able to take any paper notes and turn them into a black-and-white PDF file on your device – simply by taking a photo of them. Extremely useful for borrowing friends’ notes to print out later at home.
3. Google Drive & Google Docs
Okay, we realise that these are two separate apps, but they complement each other so well that we thought it best to put them together. Google Drive makes it easy to upload your files from your computer, then access them anywhere, anytime from almost any device. Then, use Google Docs to share documents with your friends and even edit them together. Perfect for group projects.
We hope these apps are helpful throughout your time at uni, and we’d love to hear about any more apps that have helped save your university life!
