Rated high in the app store and
the number one app for math,
Photomath snaps a picture of a
problem and then shows a step
by step explanation for how the
math problem was solved.
Quizlet was founded in 2015 and
is used by 1/3 of college students
across the U.S. The app features
info on any class subject you
could need and displays it in
ways that will aid with memory.
There are games, virtual flashcards, etc. However, students
without a paid membership can
only access the vocabulary in one
format.
Used by millions of college students regardless of major, Rate
My Professor allows former students to anonymously review
and rate said professor’s way of
teaching. The app also accommodates reviews on schools in
general but users are not allowed
to rate them.
Forest is an app (paid membership needed to unlock all content) to help students stay on
track with their studying by setting a “timer”. If the user closes
the app and turns off their phone,
a flower will grow until the time is
up. On the other hand, if the user
chooses to stay on their phone,
the flower bud will die and start
over.
