Top 10 iPhone Apps for College Students
Look at you, the new kid on the block! Your parents just bought you a nice and shiny iPhone (or Android phone) for college and I bet you have yet to download some of the coolest apps to make your life on campus so much better…
Don’t fret. This is where I come in and save the day! Just thank me later ;)
The Official “Top 10 iPhone Apps for College Students” List:
#1 – Angry Birds: Need I say more???! Perfect pass time activity when waiting for class, waiting for your friends, waiting for the T (or subway), or during your 2 hour social sciences lecture. DAmn those pigs!!!!
#2 – Facebook: Now you can refresh your news feed anywhere! Met someone new? Stalk Find them instantly on your phone and add them as a new friend!! :D Upload photos of your classmates falling asleep, tag yourself from all the party pics from the prior weekend. I can’t see myself living on campus without Facebook
#3 – Pandora: For all you music enthusiasts out there… type in any song or artist you like, and Pandora’s got your back!
#4 – Shazam: You no longer have to embarrassingly ask your friends what song their listening to. One click of a button, and BAM you can be like “damn, I can’t believe you’re still listening to the original mix of (song name here).”
#5 – DropBox: Say goodbye to lost, stolen, corrupted, broken, washed micro USB drives and say hello to cloud computing! What’s cloud computing? Don’t worry about it lol. Just download this program and you’ll now have access to all your essential (UE, I should get some props for using that haha) files anywhere!
#6 – HeyTell: The perfect communication medium when a phone call is too much and an SMS is just too bothersome for your attention span. Hold, speak, and release walkie talkie app for you and your friends. I frickin’ love this app
#7 – Yelp: Okay, the likelihood of us actually writing reviews on Yelp is slim to none… but we’re new around here. And the little money that we do have, we want to make sure we’re spending it on the right places! Feel like Pizza, Thai food, or hamburgers? Yelp’s location-based search is amazing for just this.
#8 – Fandango: I can’t believe there are still suckers who stand in line and wait for last minute tickets. Getting to the actual movie theater is probably a good 20 to 30 minute ride, so why not buy the tickets along the way and get a better chance at finding better seats? I don’t people sometimes. Movie times, mobile tickets, good stuff.
#9 – (Your Bank Name Here): Are you a poor college student like me? I know how useful it is keep my eye on my bank account balance before overspending and having to work part-time on the weekends. Maybe it’s just me, but I like double checking to see I enough zero’s before I treat everyone to an order of wings :)
#10 – Twitter: Check out rising trends, send out useless mobile tweets that can wait ’til later, and follow your @friends as they use geeky Twitter #technoterms and #shortphrases to describe the simplest things. Everyone’s doing it, so why not? #win
