My Top 3 Apps during Exams

Its that time of year again! Exam season...my favourite.  I am not a huge app person and I make my study schedule the old fashioned way but these are some apps that I find myself using more during exam season.  iCal

Basic, but a must. It is synced on all my devices which is really helpful and I can quickly see what I have going on that day and plan around it. 

 30/30

I love this app. I just recently downloaded it and have been using it ever since. If you download one app on this list, make it this one (cause you probably already have the others). I love that I can pick how long I want to do an activity for and it will cycle through my list and alert me when time is up. When I am studying I will usually just set it on a simple study for 50 minutes, break for 10 schedule.

Songza

I can't listen to music with lyrics when I study but sometimes I need some background noise. I love the different classical playlists for this. They help me focus on what I am studying without getting distracted.  

Top 5 iPad Apps

I recently got an ipad mini and I have been enjoying the number of apps that are available for it. I thought I would share some of my favourites here with you. I also love being able to sync my calendar from my computer to my ipad, the wireless sync feature is a great way to easily keep it updated.  I also really enjoy being able to quickly check my emails and avoid the hassle of turning on my computer.

Blitz Bejewelled - I am obsessed with this game. I cannot put it down. It is by far my favourite. I actually have to limit the amount that I allow myself to play it.

Twitter - I love checking twitter on my ipad. It's easy to scroll though and updates quickly. I am constantly on twitter now and love keeping up to date with everything.

Flipboard - this might be my favourite app yet. I love it. It is a simple and easy way to keep up to date about the things that I am interested in. I can quickly read headings and if they seem interesting then i can read the entire article. If you don't have this app you are seriously missing out.

Reminders - this came installed and I love it. I love being able to check things off. Plus I can simply sync it with my computer and keep lists current no matter what I a working on. Now I just need an iPhone and I will be all set. Haha.

iBooks - The mini is the perfect size for reading. Its nice and light. I didn't think I would like reading a book off of a screen but I actually use it all the time. Its is great on the go.
