However, this is not to say that there aren’t some other great calendar apps out there. This is a pretty natural choice given that your student mail is linked to Google and features such as schedule sharing, google meet integration and cross-platform compatibility. The calendar app I rely on the most is Google Calendar. Once you have found it make sure to download the schedule as a file in order to integrate into your existing calendar apps and programs. To begin with, you should go to and search for your lecture schedule there. In between lectures, deadlines and other projects it is therefore important to keep a good overview of your schedule. Before using these to record though, make sure to ask your professor or fellow students for their permission!Įvery student I know (including myself) sometimes struggles with keeping track of time. My personal favourite apps include Otter and Google’s ‘ live transcribe ’ app. If you are taking notes specifically on an iPad, I would recommend you to check out Goodnotes and Notability as both give you a ton of options to take notes or integrate them into existing PDF files, while also offering great support for the Apple Pencil.įinally, I have been using voice recorder apps which transcribe spoken word into written text on a number of occasions (lectures, meetings etc.). If you are a Mac or iPad user, you might also want to have a look at Ulysses which comes with a sleek design and simple user interface.

Similarly, Microsoft OneNote and Google Keep are good options to look at. The best known by far is probably Evernote, which has been around for quite a bit and has proven to be very popular due to its various functions and cross-platform compatibility. Of course, you can use standard text apps such as Google Docs, MS Word or Pages, but there are also a few apps which are specifically catered towards note-taking and let you annotate PDF’s, websites and create individual notebooks.

While some still prefer the old school method of taking notes with pen and paper, most students can be seen taking notes on a tablet or notebook. Note-taking is one of the most common and fundamental tasks encountered by every student, which is also why this section will be the longest one. This way you can easily find the apps that fit your specific needs and wants as a student. However, instead of just throwing a list of apps out there, I have divided this blog into three categories: Note-taking, time management and studying. In this blog, I want to introduce you to some of the applications that I have extensively used during my studies and which have really helped me boost my productivity in uni. With the help of phones, tablets, and computers students are able to make their lives a lot easier when compared to thirty or forty years ago. Technology is increasingly shaping the world we live in, including the way we study and learn.
