The most useful applications for schoolchildren. Study Habit: Best Educational Apps
The new school year will begin very soon - sleepless nights, an ocean of positive memories and emotions, as well as a little studying in your free time. However, during the learning process, anyone may encounter various difficulties, for which it is better to be prepared in advance. And the seven best iOS applications for studying according to the Cult Of Mac portal will help us with this.
is an ideal program for storing a wide variety of content. It's great for keeping personal notes, saving interesting links for later, managing projects, and so on. The application has a huge number of possibilities and will be useful not only at school and university, but also at work.
Price: Free, built-in paid upgrade available for Premium account. Download
It's an indispensable task manager with features somewhat similar to Evernote. The application provides the ability to create individual tasks, sort them into categories, and even share them with friends. Pleasant design coupled with an impressive set of lists and settings - Wunderlist will fit perfectly into any workflow.
Too lazy to record boring lectures from your teacher, but your favorite iPad or MacBook just died out of luck? In such a situation, it is better to record them on your iPhone's voice recorder. Of course, the built-in iOS application of the same name is also suitable for this, but Recordium has more functions. For example, you can add various notes to audio recordings, synchronize them using Dropbox, and so on.
An application for interesting and exciting learning of foreign languages. Unfortunately, Duolingo has a significant drawback: to learn Spanish, Italian and other languages, you need to know English, since the program does not have Russian localization. Suitable for those students who want to learn more than two languages.
MyScript Calculator
Surely from the name you already understand what this program is for. The main feature of MyScript is entering all formulas, fractions and integrals not from the keyboard, but using gestures. The application won first place among the best mobile applications at CES 2013. It is distributed completely free of charge.
Mint
It is known that students often need to plan their budget. You need to accurately calculate how much money needs to be allocated for certain purposes, which is what Mint will help you with. The application conveniently synchronizes with the Mac program of the same name.
Price: For free. Available in US and Canadian only
Learning a foreign language is an integral part of education. This application can be an excellent teaching aid in learning French, Italian, Spanish or Chinese. It provides ready-made flashcards for vocabulary development and audio tests for pronunciation practice.
Moreover, this application is free.
3. Evernote Peek
Creating “cheat sheets”, or rather flash cards, is a tedious process that most students do not have enough time for. The Evernote Peek app will take care of most of this work. The app turns your iPad and its Smart Cover into flashcards. And don't worry if you don't have a case, the app creates a "virtual cover."
Strengthen your memory easily and for free.
4. Frog Dissection (dissection of a frog)
It may be that for some, gutting frogs in biology class is a pleasure, but for others it can become an obstacle to getting a high grade - it is difficult to count on success while fighting the urge to vomit. This app allows students to eliminate the smell of formaldehyde while learning frog anatomy. Bright 3D visualization allows you to study in detail the structure of the animal’s internal organs.
App cost: $3.99.
5. Graphing Calculator (graphing calculator)
Graphing calculators are expensive, but doing homework without one is almost impossible. Instead of purchasing the calculator itself, consider purchasing an app to replace it.
It quickly graphs multiple equations at once, using its own keyboard to enter data. It allows you to create graphs of polar and parametric equations and many others. In addition, you can take screenshots of the calculator screen and send graphs by email.
The app costs $2.99, which is much less than the price of a real calculator.
6. Math Formulas (mathematical formulas)
Want to keep your trigonometric formulas separate from your algebraic formulas? This application will become your assistant in mathematics.
The application stores frequently used formulas, classified by branches of mathematics, which provides quick and easy access to them. In addition, you can create a section that will contain “favorite” formulas. Information about formulas is also provided with pictures if necessary, as is the case with geometry.
The app costs only $0.99.
7. Easel SAT Prep Lite
The SAT (School Assessment Test) is one of the most important tests in an American high school student's career. This application allows you to prepare for it without problems or spending money.

This application includes many mathematical formulas that will certainly help any student. Of course, until they learn them by heart.
My script calculator
A very useful calculator that can calculate handwritten data. It calculates all formulas, from simple to the most complex.

A useful application for anyone who wants to write competently in Russian. It is made in a playful way, but if you make a mistake, you will be immediately introduced to the rules that you will need to remember once and for all.
Punctuation
Punctuation is another application from the developers of Spelling. In it you will need to insert not the missing letters, but punctuation marks. And, of course, remember very necessary and useful rules.
Lingvo dictionaries
As a linguist, I can assure you that these dictionaries are used by all students of the Romance-Germanic department. Why carry around thick books when all the necessary information can be contained in one single application? It is indeed very well made, and there are numerous translation options. In addition, if necessary, it is possible to purchase additional dictionaries with specific topics.
Duolingo
Duolingo is a great app for those just starting to learn a foreign language. In a simple game form, you will learn new words and rules, step by step. Unfortunately, for now you can only learn English and German in Russian, but let’s hope that at least French and Spanish will appear soon.

True, the application is in English.
There is so much talk about the integration of information technology in education! While adults scratch their tongues, children themselves have long since integrated everything. Let's talk about the best apps for school that modern teenagers use so as not to break their teeth on the granite of science.
Mathematics: PhotoMath
Admit it, we all dreamed of this, looking with hatred at the two-story equations in the algebra textbook. Application PhotoMath allows you to take a photo of a page with an example in a textbook, automatically recognizes and solves it yourself, and provides a step-by-step solution algorithm. It is enough just to copy it into a notebook. In addition, the program can recognize handwritten examples and build graphs - this is a “resource book” for anything. But to the credit of the program, it does not just provide a ready-made solution, but explains on what principle everything is decided.
Physics: Betaphysics
A smart physics formula guide for Android that gives you hints on how to solve problems—or solves them for you. It is enough to photograph the condition, and the artificial intelligence of the application Betaphysics will scan it for keywords, understand what the problem is and suggest formulas, laws and constants that may be useful for solving. In addition, you can select the necessary formulas, and the application will build a ready-made solution based on them. Complete solutions to problems are available with a paid subscription, but the hints are free.
Chemistry: Chemistry X10
Even those who are good at physics and mathematics break their teeth in chemistry. No wonder that the “solver” Chemistry X10 is so popular - more than 500,000 schoolchildren have already downloaded it. The application is capable of many tasks in a school chemistry course, including solving reaction equations and automatically placing coefficients in them. It also contains a unit converter, a molar mass calculator and, of course, the periodic table. To the credit of young Russian chemists: in reviews on Google Play, observant children continually correct the solutions provided by the algorithm!
