1. Pinterest:
Maybe this one is too obvious, but I couldn’t imagine my iPad without it! For any readers who don’t know, Pinterest is a social media platform where you can create boards to organize ideas, plan your life at 3:00AM (glow up TBD), get outfit/hairstyle inspiration, and more! Personally, I use Pinterest to ignite color schemes and for organizational tactics. I also love the diversity of content you can find, plus, the big screen makes everything more colorful and exciting!
2. AnkiPro:
AnkiPro is a digital flashcard app that emphasizes spaced repetition – which is proven to be an effective study method. A pre-med influencer influenced me to download this app, and I love it. I really enjoy using flashcards to study, and especially as a pre-med student, I feel it makes studying a lot less stressful and more exciting.
3. Slices:
This is one of my favorite games EVER. It is a puzzle game app where we connect slices (like how you would slice a pie) together to make a circle. Each level is a little longer and the pieces the algorithm gives are more intricate (bigger :( ) and it gets progressively harder to fill the circle – each level also has different circle designs.
4. NumberSums:
This game requires a little more brainpower but is a great way to clear your mind – I played it during season 6 of Love Island USA (if you know you know). Each level is a different grid filled with numbers and at the beginning of every row and column there is a number (the sum) that each number in the row must equal to (not every number is used). As a cute little hint, there are blobs of numbers within the grid that are the same color, and a gray square within each blob of color indicating what those numbers sum to.
5. MonopolyGo:
This game is just how you would expect – except a million times more fun. It is like a board game regarding rolling the die, landing on properties, paying rent, community chest and chance cards, which are exciting components! However, in this app you can have friends (to send each other things) and there are mini games that you can play for prizes! I, embarrassingly enough, have this game on my phone and iPad to maximize my prizes (if you want my friend code, let me know ASAP).
