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.

Think of Wolfram as a virtual teacher to help you though your studying process. Another great feature, is that Wolfram shows where it sourced it’s data which is vital for student work, to prove the information is authentic. Price $1.99
