Apps para estudiantes: productividad - Parte 1 (Android).

Hola a todos! En esta oportunidad les voy a dar una lista de aplicaciones (apps) para estudiantes que te ayudarán ha mantener tu día productivo. Las aplicaciones que a continuación nombraré tienen como funcionalidad el poder ayudarte a manejar tu tiempo de forma eficaz y sencilla, garantizando un día productivo con momentos de trabajo y descansos. Aclarar que algunas aplicaciones sólo se encuentran disponibles en un sólo sistema, es decir, android o IOS. 

Sin más que decir, aquí van.

Android:

(OJO, en el sistema android se puede descargar Forest en versión gratuita, sin embargo, en IOS la versión gratis no está disponible).

Todas las aplicaciones anteriores se encuentran disponibles en la PLAY STORE de forma gratuita. Éstas aplican en su gran mayoría la técnica Pomodoro. Sin embargo, si lo deseas, puedes editar el tiempo de concentración disponible, al igual que sus respectivos descansos. 

- Algunas aplicaciones pueden tener la opción de poner música o sonidos de ambiente para asegurarte una mejor concentración si eres del tipo de persona que se concentra con música ambiental.

                            The Best Apps for Students 

Apps are amazing because they are very helpful and they are always there for us in our pockets. Here I am listing apps that I use in my college life and I find them life-saving. I mostly use them on my iPad but you can definitely use them on your phone as well.

P. Schedule Apple  (free) – amazing app to have your school schedule in along with professors, due dates, and small to-do lists in one place. Very easy to use. I personally use it every semester. What I also like about this app is that if you make an account you can sync information between devices.

Google Drive for Apple/Android| DropBox for Apple/Android (free) – They are basically online flash drives. You will never have a problem of forgotten at home flash drive with these two. They are very similar. I use both of them for different purposes. Google Drive for PowerPoints and DropBox for my projects. Free storage is more than enough for papers. You can access them from your phone, tablet, and computer.

Focus Now Apple (free) – it’s a Pomodoro technic timer. You turn it on while you’re doing a task and it’ll grow tomatoes. If you open your phone while it’s growing tomatoes, tomatoes will die. It basically makes you quite your phone/tablet for some time.

Quizlet Apple/ Android (free) – good old Quizlet. Even though I hate note cards, I loved using it for memorizing vitamins – functions and drugs – functions. Made me memorize all this stuff very fast. I loved the functions of tests and games.

Notability Apple/ Good Notes Apple ($ + Apple pencil) – Note taking apps for iPad Pro users. Both apps are amazing. I’ll write reviews about them very soon.

Draw Calendar Apple (free + Apple Pencil) – It’s a calendar app where you can write with Apple Pencil (or a finger) instead of typing.

Word Document Apple (free) – it’s a necessary app even though I hate it. I lost my files couple times because it’s so inconvenient to use. You need to make sure you save everything to DropBox before exiting the app or it’ll disappear. I use it to quickly type something from my iPad. You might also need it to open documents your professors sent you in a Word format. I try to avoid it as much as I can but sometimes it saves me a trip to a computer lab as I don’t carry my laptop to school.

Apps for school

So I have decided to be an active member of the studyblr community and come out of my rabbit hole to share with you some apps that have helped me throughout the school year! 

DISCLAIMER: ALL OF THESE APPS ARE ON IOS (APPLE iPHONES) SO IF YOU CAN’T FIND THEM I’M SO SORRY! The majority of the apps listed are part of my current app stash, but I tend to get bored of apps and flip flop (I lack commitment lol) so yah (: 

** signifies in use

—————————————————————————————————-

Timers

Forest **: I know that every studyblr uses this app, but it’s really nice! I love it and that it has these cute little trees! Basically, it’s a timer that blocks the usage of other apps while you’re studying. IT EVEN HAS A WIDGET ON CHROME, HOW NICE!!! Anyways this is obvi my fave.

Flat Tomato (Free): This is a Pomodoro timer that I’ve used in the past. It works really well and has a clean interface.

Email

Spark (Free)**: This is a really neat app! It basically organizes your email based on the type of email it is. So there are some sections labeled newsletters, pinned, etc. It has a really nice interface and I LOVE IT

Outlook (Free): This is also a really great email app since it filters out your email from newsletters and shows you priority emails.

Health

Smiling Mind (Free)**: This is an excellent app for meditation and mindfulness and it’s built around the whole premise that mental health is something that shouldn’t be an added expense. A really nice thing about this program is that it has several programs like for teens or for those training for their sport and I find that super neat (me to me: wHy  dO yOu KeEp UsInG tHaT WoRd!??) 

Headspace (Free but in app purchases)**: This, like Smiling Mind, is an awesome app for meditation and mindfulness. The app allows you to choose from different programs and work your way through them. 

Pillow (free with in app purchases)**: This is a 2in1 alarm and sleep tracker that tracks your sleep and basically rates the quality of sleep that you’re getting based on the feedback it receives. I enjoyed this app so much that I paid for the premium subscription which comes with the ability to power nap and change the alarm clock buzzer sounds (amongst other amazing features), but all-in-all best sleep tracker app I’ve tried.

Clue (free)**; This is such a great app, part of my holy grail of apps actually haha. Basically, Clue keeps track of your period and predicts when the next one will occur based on the data it has gathered. It also is a period journal and you can keep track of things like your mood or whether or not you took the pill that day. 10/10 would recommend!

To-do apps/lists

Todoist (free with in app purchases)**: The To-do list to end to lists… jk. I prefer post-its, but when I do use online stuff I use Todoist because it has such a straightforward, clean, user-friendly interface. I love that it works well with IFTTT and that you can use #s to organize your tasks. Only downside would be the lack of reminders on the free subscription.

Wunderlist (free with in app purchases): Before I used Todoist, I used this gem. With similar functionality to Todoist, it was an easy and fun use. The only deal-breaker for me was the lack of IFTTT integration and those cool # thingies b/c honestly it expedites the process of writing out your task and it makes you feel like some sort of hacker with cheat codes but rlly you’re just a smol bean.

Doo (paid)**: I love this app SOOOO much. In a synopsis, doo displays everything you have to do into cards and you can place them into chronological order and schedule reminders and it’s so nice and so cute and i love it.

Staying Woke:

TheSkimm (free but like you need a subscription??)**: This app gives you a quick rundown of all of the biggest news stories and in language that is comprehensible. I love this app so much but if you’re already a woke-ish human and you want more in-depth news, go for WSJ, The New York Times, The Atlantic, BBC, etc.

TED (free like my country, hahahaha just kidding but not im so sorry im so meme-y)**: I really like TEDTalks because they give you a rundown of all of the advancements in tech and there are some really interesting people on there who present amazing topics.

Educational:

Duolingo (free)**: This app helps you learn languages through dialogue, vocab building, and sentence construction. I use it to keep my native language polished (Spanish) and to practice French. :)

GoogleDocs (free)**: This app is really awesome for working on documents on the go, especially if you need to make quick edits here and there. 

OneNote (free)**: So on OneNote all of my classes have a notebook that i use to keep track of notes and assignments. It’s a good place to keep everything and I really like the ease of use.

Quizlet (free)**: For the on-the-go studier, this is seriously a lifesaver. I love using this to make flashcards for vocab or equations, it helps me drill them and memorize efficiently.

7 Apps for Studying and Time Management

Companion video: link

►Memorigi

Android [FREE]: link iPhone: [NOT AVAILABLE] Similar app: Wunderlist [FREE] link

Memorigi is a really easy to use time management app where you can log in all of your tasks for the day, week and month. You can use a color code to track your tasks by theme or by subject so you can understand what your workload will be for the next few days. I really like this app’s simple layout and the fact that you can chose between different views, namely between a daily view or a three-days view. It also lets you set an alarm to remind you that your tasks and events are coming up. Other similar apps to consider are Google Calendar and Evernote.

►Duolingo Android [FREE]: link iPhone [FREE]: link

Duolingo is an app that lets you learn languages through an array of mini games and exercises that you can complete daily, increasing your fluency and mastery step by step. Each language comes with dozens of different themed levels that teach you different aspects of vocabulary and grammar so you can build up your knowledge on that language. Each level recycles what you’ve learned in past levels to make sure that you still remember that you have learned before. You can also use the training icon to get a personalized lesson with your weakest words, so you can really tackle whatever you are having a difficult time with, before moving on with the learning process. I also enjoy the fact that the levels are short and you aren’t required to speak or listen, so it’s the perfect way to spend some idle time during commuting to school.

►Forest: Android [FREE]: link iPhone [1,99$]: link

Another app that I always talk about is Forest, and for me it’s the best way to use the Pomodoro Technique whilst having a true visual experience of your productivity levels. The concept is quite simple: for each block of time you spend studying, you plant a virtual tree. While that tree grows, you cannot use other app in your phone, less you get distracted. When the timer reaches zero, you will have planted a tree in your forest. The more trees you have, the more productive you were during that day.

►Loop - Habit Tracker Android [FREE]: link iPhone: NOT AVAILABLE HabitBull [FREE], similar app: link

Habits is an habit tracker app that lets you follow up on those small daily tasks that we sometimes forget, like drinking enough water, taking medication or taking a walk outside. It’s very simple to use – all you have to do is insert which tasks you want to track and just press the small cross to mark it for that day. As time goes by, you will build a graphic that tells you how many times you’ve forgotten certain tasks and where you should improve. I usually do this by hand in my bullet journal but I think that tracking your habits with an app should please everyone who prefers to manage their time with their phone and doesn’t like to carry a notebook around.

►SaveMyTime Android [FREE]: link iPhone: NOT AVAILABLE Similar app: link

Still on the time management theme, I think that everyone should try at least once in their life to really understand how they are spending their time. A time wheel lets you do this – you basically input how you have been spending your time during the day, with transportation, sleeping, eating, studying and taking classes and you will be baffled by how little time you can actually spend at your own will. This app lets you do exactly this, you just insert the amount of time you have been doing something and it will build a time wheel for you, so you can reflect where you have been wasting your time and re-organize your schedule. I think this is a great challenge to keep up with during a week and just reflect on how you are actually living your life. Basically, it sets a tracking time and when you unlock your phone, the app will ask you what you have been doing for the past fifteen minutes so you can build your time wheel gradually during the day without even noticing it.

►Quizlet Android [FREE]: link iPhone [FREE]: link

A great app to save paper, ink and time is quizlet. It basically replaces all of your physical flash cards and lets you keep entire sets of questions and answers in your phone under your personal account. You can then export these to your computer and share them with your friends. I think this is an amazing app for anyone who relies on definition based classes and tests and is something great to use on idle times or when you need to study but only have your phone around. It has tons of different ways to test your knowledge on a subject and it can even read your cards out loud as if you were being questioned by your professor.

►Timetable Android [FREE]: link iPhone [NOT AVAILABLE] Similar app: Class Timetable [FREE]: link

Finally, and this is one of my favorites, there is a widget timetable app so you can place your school timetable in your homescreen and never skip a class again. I usually never know where I am going to have class and sometimes it’s not really useful to take out your planner and look at your schedule so having it right on your homescreen is really useful.

You can insert all data related to your class in this widget, like the name of the class, the location, participants and total duration. You can always assign a color to a certain class. Afterwards, you just tap the screen to assign your class to a certain timeblock and there you have it.

[myhoneststudyblr]

I don’t think you can be a student at any level of education today without having to use at least one app to aid your learning! Whether it’s on your phone or tablet, these apps to help students are becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, there are a lot of really rubbish ones so I thought I would do a post on my favourite apps to help you guys get some inspiration!

1. 24me (free with a pro upgrade)

Every student needs a calender app of some sort to keep track of everything. I’ve tried quite a few different ones including the normal Apple Calender and Google Calendar but this is the one that I’ve found suits me best. What’s best about it is that it isn’t just a calender, you can also put all your different tasks in it. This is really useful for me to be able to keep track of all my homework from different subjects. As it says above, it is free and even though there is a pro subscription, I honestly don’t think that you need it and I’ve managed completely fine.

2. Forest (paid)

This is a really popular app in the studyblr community and for good reason. This app is really useful to get rid of distractions when you are studying. It also has the added benefit of being able to help you track how much studying you are doing and when. What is really motivating about it is actually being able to see your first build up as you study more! A free alternative is Flat Tomato. Its a bit different and focuses a lot more on the pomodoro technique but it is still great!

3. GoodNotes (paid)

This is another popular one in the studyblr community and again it is obvious to see why. This app is so useful to take really beautiful notes. It is really user friendly and absolutely everyone I know who has tried this app has found it incredibly easy to use on the first go. There are so many different functions on this app that truly makes it heads and shoulders above all the other note taking apps.

4. Google Drive (free)

This app is one I’ve only just started using but so far I’ve found it really useful to have all my documents- from school and at home- all in one place. I also think that it has made it easier to send and transfer my documents between accounts, which before I got it, was a bit of a pain to do.

5. Word

I’ve been using Microsoft Word since I started school so I’m pretty used to it by now and for me it is an absolute essential. I have it on both my iPad and on my MacBook and I honestly couldn’t do my work without it. I have to say that it is a little less user friendly on the iPad version but otherwise I can’t really fault it.

6. Quizlet (free with pro upgrade)

This app is one of the most important apps for any student. You can find flash cards for so many different subjects and courses and you can creates sets and classes to group these together with fellow classmates. For example, in my school, someone uploads the words for vocab tests each week so everyone can access it easily. But it’s not only good for vocab but in any subject in which you need to memorise stuff. The only thing you need to consider is that the vast majority of the flash cards are made by students so there might be a few mistakes so always check!

7. Khan Academy (free)

This app is absolutely great for learning any sort of science or maths topic. The videos are really great and help explain it in a really easy way - in fact this app is how I leart to balance equations after being hopelessly confused in lessons. An important thing to note is that this is an American app so so of the courses may be a bit different to what you are actually studying if you are not American but it’s great for getting the basics.

8. Photomath (free)

This app is a lifesaver! I honestly don’t think I could live without it. I use it in order to help me out when I get really stuck on a particular maths question. What is so great about it is that it doesn’t just give you an answer it, it goes through each step, with explanation, until you get to the answer. You can use the photo function to put the equation in or manually type it out. It really is very useful to anyone studying maths even if you just use it ever now and then to help on that one question that you just can’t figure out.

9. Google Translate (free)

This app is very helpful for anybody learning a language. Of course you can’t rely on it for everything because it most definitely isn’t perfect but it can really help. For example, I often use it in German, not to get words, but just to check that I’ve got the word order correct. It also has a really useful camera function that roughly translates a piece of text. This is useful to get a rough idea of what’s happening in a piece of difficult text before going into it in more detail. However, I definitely would not use it as a dictionary, for that I would suggest Linguee (free) which is probably the best dictionary I’ve ever found for translating other languages and I would highly recommend. I would also recommend Duolingo (free with pro upgrade) for any language learners as this app helps you to learn grammar and phrases a lot more.

So those are some of my favourite apps that I used for studying and organising my life. If anyone has any more that they particularly love or find really useful, add them to the comments!
