A List of Back to School Apps for Students

As we all are well-aware, it’s back to school time. This means it’s the perfect time to purchase a new cell phone and get new apps to help your student become more productive. For instance, AT&T is currently running a sweet deal on the HTC One X for only $99! If you recall, I became a fan of HTC phones with my HTC One S Cell Phone review and HTC EVO 4G LTE Cell Phone review this summer. I imagine this new phone is just as awesome. Check it out!
Currently on sale for just $99.99 as part of AT&T’s back-to-school promotion, the HTC One X runs the latest version of Android and HTC Sense, as well as features a beautiful white color finish and 4.7-inch HD display. Its 8-megapixel camera comes equipped with HTC ImageSense, improving every part of the camera including the lens, sensor and software. The HTC One X also offers 1080p HD video recording, with the ability to take photos while capturing video. With Beats By Dr. Dre Audio integration, HTC One X customers can enjoy an enhanced sound experience when listening to music, watching movies or playing video games. Access to AT&T’s speedy 4G LTE network paired with a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor make this smartphone super-fast.
Now, I mentioned that there are several great apps for students these days. So, here is a top 10 list of apps perfect for students.
1. Pageonce – Money & Bills (Free): Pageonce lets you pay bills, organize and track your cash, credit cards, bills and investments all in one easy place. This application helps you to understand and keep track of your money so that you never miss a payment or overdraw your account.
2. Grades: Student Organizer ($0.99): Keep track of your classes, school assignments, homework and exams with ease. You can even watch your attendance, manage your time, keep a record of your test scores and monitor your GPA. A multiple-view calendar also shows your daily schedule, weekly plans, attendance tracking, a general schedule and includes Google Calendar integration with handy reminders and computer data import options.
3. Astrid Task/To-Do List (Free): With Astrid you can set priorities, deadlines, add descriptions, tag and add notes to items. The organization is taken one step further by giving you the ability to separate your work, social and college life tasks. You can also search by title, date, importance and more.
4. Evernote (Free): Evernote lets you take notes, capture photos, create to-do lists, record voice reminders and more. Notes are searchable, whether you are at home, at work, or on-the-go.

9. StudyDroid Flashcards 2.0-Pro ($1.99): Instead of carrying around hundreds of flashcards in your pocket, keep them all stored on your mobile device. StudyDroid lets you create flash cards online or on your phone and then sync them to access on both.
10. Grammar Guide ($1.00): Grammar Guide is an easy-to-use, quick reference guide with general rules and helpful hints for using grammar. Topics that are covered include a glossary of terms, punctuation, capitalization, misused words, misspelled words, when to use numbers and tips for proofreading.
I think many high school or college students could really use those apps. So, have you used any of those apps? Do you own an HTC One X? What do you think of it?
Disclosure: I received nothing for this post. The opinions expressed are my own.



The student organizer one seems like it would be very useful!! Thanks for sharing all these cool apps. I’m debating getting an iphone in november, but I do have some loves withe droid phones. My biggest hang up is the freezing that tends to happen with droids. But I love the widgets that apple doesn’t have. Anyway, thanks for sharing your list.
