► point5 Apps for Students

I’ll try to avoid the obvious ones..

5. QUIZUP (FREE)20140815-114806-42486371.jpg It was at the top of the app-chart and was great but had a short life-span which is a shame because it’s good fun and there are plenty of categories you can test yourself in. I consolidated my flag knowledge and got overly excited when a question came up in 18th and 19th Century History that I could answer thanks to one of my seminars. So re-download QuizUp; it needs to have a second-coming..

Once stored, you are able to crop, annotate and highlight your chosen passage. It’s not a particularly fancy app but nothing ever is when you’re a student so I guess it’s perfect really.

I did it for a few months before stopping because I have no will power but I have seen some great finished results and it’s a great way to record your time at uni.

20140815-114852-42532885.jpg1. EASYBIB (FREE) – We all hate referencing, it’s a chore and takes an absolute age. This app helps you out a bit; it scans the barcode of a book and then gives you the full citation which you can store and then email to yourself once you have scanned all the books you have used. Saves you some time, why not?
