Two Useful Apps for Students

There are two mobile apps that I use all of the time. They are The Free Dictionary by Farlex and Google Keep apps. I use The Free Dictionary almost daily. Not only does this app define words, but helps with vocabulary by suggesting new words to learn every day. In addition to a word of the day, this app features an article of the day, a quote of the day, the current day in history, the birthday of someone in the news or history and the holiday of a place in the world. In addition, this app gives the weather, your horoscope, and three interactive word games.

The Free Dictionary by Farlex is free. I use it on my android phone and tablet. This app sync bookmarks in both devices and tracks my vocabulary profile. I highly recommend this app to any student who wants to increase his or her vocabulary. One may log in via Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, or your web browser. The web address is www.thefreedictionary.com and can be downloaded from Google’s Playstore.

Another app that I use with my phone that I think will be beneficial to a college student is the Google Keep app. I depend on this app to stay organized. It allows me to create notes and have the ability to assess them anywhere by using my Google account. I can speak a voice memo and the app transcribes it to text and catalogs it for me. It has a very simple “to-do” program that I like very much. I often sync with my tablet. This app is free and can be downloaded from Google’s Playstore.
