Studious
Almost every student has had that moment where their phone has gone off during a lecture. The result is an angry professor who really dislikes you for the lesson. The best answer is Studious, a great app where you input your college schedule and it will automatically mute your device for the duration of your class.
Alarmy (Sleep If U Can)- alarm
Admittedly, this app isn’t directly relevant to improving your education, but if you can’t get out of bed then you won’t be learning a thing. Some call this app the most annoying alarm they’ve ever come across. You set a location, for example the toilet or the kitchen sink etc, and the only way that alarm is going away is if you physically get out of bed and go to it. So on top of waking up, you could always annoy your friends with it too.
Scribd – Read Unlimited Books
Lastly, we have this wonderful gem and a must-have app for any college student. It boasts a HUGE library of books and documents, meaning you can spend less time searching for resources and access them all in the palm of your hand. Perfect.
That is just five great apps for students to play with and try out, but there are more apps added to Android every day to help your learning experience, so if you’ve not had much luck with the above, make sure to regularly check out the top educational apps and browse to your hearts content.
