8 Must Have iPad Aps for College Students
The iPad is simply a “must have” for college students. Don’t get me started on the many of uses of the iPad for college students, that’s a post for another day. Today, we will look at the great iPad apps that help with studying, organizing, entertaining and partying for the college student.
Evernote for College Classes
1. Evernote
Evernote is perfect for note taking in college courses. You can take the notes on your iPad and they are automatically synced with your online account, which gives you computer access to your notes. Likewise, take the notes on your computer and then study them on the go on your iPad. Ever note also organizes and makes your notes cohesive and manageable with just a bit of tweaking.
iStudiezPro organizes you
2. iStudiezPro
iStudiezPro is a fantastic organizer for college students. Color coding, subject headings, classwork organizer and due date planner are all part of an ap that fits the bill for an all encompassing tool. Reminders of when projects are due can be scheduled along with notifications in e-mail. The ap also summarizes your daily, weekly and semester projects, giving an idea of the status of each. iStudiezPro is perfect for college courses and keeping your research and writing assignments organized.
Flash My Brain Note Cards
Flash My Brain is an app that I use frequently, which tells you how easy it is to use! It is a note card making ap that stores your note cards online. You can also download other people’s note cards or make your own public. Cards can be organized into categories or color coded. The best part is that pictures can also be inserted into the note cards or you can take a picture on your iPhone and import it directly into your note cards.
iBooks - Made for College Students
4. iBooks
Of course, iBooks. The supplimental information that you can get from the thousands of books on iBooks is outstanding. While Apple is still working with academic publishing companies and universities to make the iPad standard fair for viewing textbooks, iBooks still has a vast amount of benefit for the college student. All the classics in literature are available for free as well as many discounted educational materials.
Rate My Professor
Great! Wondering what class to take and if a prof is good? This app is a must have for every college student. Don’t get stuck with a professor that is disliked, too difficult to understand or grades too hard. Over 1 million professors rated at over 6000 universities!
iSource APA formatting
6. iSource APA
Enough said…APA format is difficult. This app makes it simple with doing the citation for you. Just plug in the information and see how your bibliography should look.
iSource MLA
7. iSource MLA
Ditto…Great app and helps with beginning college students use of MLA format. Common for English 101 courses and freshman citation.
Gametender for College Students
Always make sure you have something innovative to do at college parties. Gametender offers over 200 drinking games…part of any good college education.

WizFolio is a reference management software by the way. You can manage/view research papers, references, YouTube videos etc. Great tool to serve like the ‘Windows Explorer’ on iPad.

For those who like to use their iPad for quick drawing, there is The Chalkpad! iTunes -> http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-chalkpad/id374197363?mt=8
great post as usual!
That’s too bad about flash my brain’s service. The app also allows you to download other people’s flash cards from their website. The app for the desktop works great for me. I’ll check out Mental Case, maybe I’ll like it better. Thanks Nikki!
I despise Flash My Brain! I purchased their desktop to go along with the iPhone app and when I had issues, they NEVER responded. The app and program are a complete rip off. Read the forums and you will see for yourself.
If you have a Mac, get Mental Case and the desktop app to go with it. Mental Case even downloads flashcards from flashcardexchange.com.
College students might also want to take a break from all the note taking and play a puzzle game right? That being said, I want to share a game that you might want to try out. If you have tried Tetris or Bejeweled it might interest you to know that there is a better option for those games – StarFaces – certainly one of the best iPad app ever. This is my new favorite ipad puzzle game.
However, this just in from the NC State:
