Five Back-To-School Apps That Will Change Your Life

MT. PLEASANT, Mich., - Between study groups, book clubs, and Tuesday Sushi Night downtown, the start of school means your schedule just got a whole lot busier! Keeping track of all the little details like due dates, dress codes, and meeting times can get a little hectic. Thanks to our smartphones, we're able to manage our time a little better. While our phones can truly be the biggest distraction, they can also be our most reliable asset when it comes to time keeping. Check out these five back-to-school apps that will change your life!

1. MyHomework App: This splashy app is designed to make managing due dates a breeze! Simply input your tasks and check out your calendar anytime to stay on top of your assignments. With the MyHomework App, you'll be acing those classes in no time! The best part? It's free! 
2.  Peek: This fancy app isn't free ($2.99) however, it makes up for it with a streamline calendar interface that is a breeze to navigate. When we’re on the go, we need a reminder app that’s clean, simple, and easy to input. If it’s a pain to update, that kind of ruins the point, right? The Peek app keeps your calendar clean and stress free so you can get back to what's important.  
3. Wunderlist: Everyone needs a reminder sometimes for everyday tasks. Aren't our ideas and creative inspirations just as important? We think so! Wunderlist is a wonderful interface that syncs with your phone, tablet, and computer, keeping all of your to-do list items in one place. Wunderlist is free for IOS and Android users. 
4. Mango Health: Between homework and going to class, keeping track of your health can get lost in the mix. Mango Health is a free way to make sure you keep an eye on the most important part of you: your health. This well-designed app will help keep you on track so you’ll never miss your meds again.
5. CourseSmart: This app is the number 1 app for digital ebooks and textbooks in the country! View the full content of more than 7,000 textbooks on your iPhone — for free. CourseSmart makes its money through the licensing of e-textbooks, which expire after a certain access period, typically about 180 days. The books cost roughly half as much as their print equivalents, although there's no way to resell or keep the books past the subscription period. We loved this app! 

There you have it, five back-to-school apps that will change your life! We know going back to school is difficult on everyone, especially college students and their families! iPhones and Androids do so much more than just Instagram and SnapChat! Now, through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can even stay connected in your vehicle! Be sure to take a look at our technology pages for more information about your car's connectivity features.
