Android is a great mobile operating system and offers a sheer endless amount of apps. With college starting soon, many students might ask themselves which apps can support their studies or generally make their live easier.

Any.Do
Any.Do is a great task app that integrates well with other devices and services. As it syncs with Google Tasks and your calendar, it’s the perfect tool to plan your social life, class assignments and other things happening in your life. College life can get quite chaotic and Any.Do helps you to keep an overview of everything you have to do.
Dropbox
Dropbox is a great tool to share documents with your class mates. I personally used this tool to store all my college documents: assignments, research papers or slides form classes. Everything stored online and accessible across all your devices. Dropbox now also integrates with Office 365 and you’re able to work together with your fellow students in your documents – Google Drive style. The basic version comes for free and with our guide you can get up to 40 GB of Dropbox space for free.
EasyBib
Struggling to write essays and get your bibliography and citations in order? EasyBib is here to help you. Just enter your books title or scan the barcode and the app will give you the proper citation which can be shared easily. The app supports over 7000 citation styles including MLA, APA and Chicago.
Cram
Cram is a great flashcard learning tool that offers a huge amount of existing flashcards to help you study for your classes and exams. The app syncs to cram.com which offers more than 11 million flashcards. It does not matter if you’re studying for a specific exam like the GMAT or want to study Chemistry, or English – Cram has flashcards ready for you. You’re also able to simply create your own cards.
RealCalc Scientific Calculator
Are you an engineering, mathematics or science student? Forgot your calculator? Have a look at RealCalc Scientific Calculator. While it might not look fancy – it completely replaces a professional and often expensive calculator. It supports unit conversions, includes a physical constants table and scientific, engineering and fixed-point display modes, amongst others. It also logs your previous calculations to get then back quickly.
