My favorite apps for iPad & iPhone 💕

So, I use quite a lot of apps on my tablet and phone, and I myself always enjoy these app compilations, they help me find a lot of interesting and useful ones!

Haven’t made any posts for a long time, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this one 🌸

1. Apps for Studying ✏️📔

- Goodnotes: is amazing for taking notes, digital planning, studying, and all things bujo💞 Honestly, I just downloaded it, and I enjoy it a lot. I buy my planners and stickers for it from Etsy, but you can decorate your own planner or bujo for free and add new notepads. The app itself is not free, but it is so worth it! It’s about 8 euros I think, but there’s also a few free alternatives.

- Notes writer: also for taking notes, it is for free, and it is quite good. You can write there, highlight notes, edit pdf files and add images - all for free! So, check it out if you’re interested and don’t like to pay 💛

- Microsoft OneNote: honestly, the best free alternative in my opinion. I usually use it on my laptop 💻, but you can obviously use it on your tablet/phone as well. I usually just type my notes out in it, highlight what I want, and add a few pictures if needed. A bit tricky to get used to at first, but convenient nonetheless.

- Dropbox: good for keeping your files there, syncs up on all of your devices, and is really good for file sharing. 📋 Unfortunately, it only allows you to to link three devices for free to your Dropbox, but it is quite enough still. This app helped me so many times, I lost count, when I had to quickly transfer a file from one device to another.

- Google Documents: is perfect for working on a project with a group of people online, allows you to create, highlight, correct and share your documents in it. Was very useful to me when me and my team were editing the document together live.

2. Apps for inspiration. 🦄

- Pinterest: love this app to death and use it to create boards with different themes, find tips and ideas, and to download various content (for example, custom content for the Sims 4 hehehe). I spend a lot of time there lol

- WeHeartIt: another great app with pictures, collections and articles. I use it less as of recently, but still like it a lot.

3. Apps for pictures. 🌅

- Lightroom: my go-to for editing pictures, color correcting, creating presets, and just making beautiful pictures. If you’re a bit lazy (like me 💁🏻), you can buy presets or download them for free from people who share them.

- VSCO: also a nice app for adding filters and whatnot to your pics, there’s quite a few free filters to use, and I like to get preset inspo on Pinterest. There’s a big variety of tips on how to create a certain preset for free. I am currently using a paid subscription, and it has a giant library of filters, including vintage ones, so to me that’s a worthy purchase! But both options are great, of course.

- MakeupPlus: honestly, I adore this app. It has lots of make up options, tools for editing your face in a picture, and it’s all for free! I recommend it a lot.

- AirBrush: also an app for beauty editing with cute filters, powerful editing tools, and cool features. I’m in love with this app 😍, but mostly the features there come with a premium subscription, and I gotta say - it is worth investing in.

💞Aand that’s it! If you would like more posts like this, let me know in the comments and feel free to add your favorites to the list!

Hope you enjoyed it and it was helpful for you, loves 💕

Apps on my iPad

I did one of these when I had my Samsung tablet so I thought I would share what apps I use on my iPad 2018

Noteshelf 2 -- This is the main app I use to take all of my notes in. I used to use goodnotes 5 but the writing experience was not the best in my own opinion, so I tried out noteshelf. I love using this app to take my notes in. I also keep my bullet journal in this app. 

Procreate -- I use this to create my bujo spreads and do any handlettering that I need done. 

AnyFont -- With the inclusion of being able to import my own fonts to Noteshelf, I broke down and bought AnyFont so that I can easily import any custom fonts that I want. 

Snapseed -- I use this to edit all of the pictures that I post. It’s free and easy to use. 

Insta Square -- I use this to make my digital note pages square for easier posting. 

Quizlet -- I use quizlet when I have a subject that requires memorization. I also use it for learning Dutch vocabulary. 

iBooks -- I usually import pdfs and other eBooks into my iBooks for convenience. 

Amazon Kindle -- Sometimes I rent books through Amazon and I use this to access them. 

If anyone has any questions feel free to send me an ask :)

                            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.
