Your smartphone can be a distration tool, but it can also aid your studying process if you let it. Anything from note-taking, remainders and dictation and translation, there is an app for that. The post is going to consist of both free and paid apps that will give you an edge. I find it easier using learning tools on a tablet so this post is for your iPad too. When it comes down to it- you will still have to do the work to make the grade so here it goes.
