Another great application that could make your school-life easier. It can help you create your own mind maps which can hugely support your learning and information recording, show how different ideas are related, and enhance your ability to solve problems. Also, it can help you organise your thoughts and improve your creativity as well. With a piece of paper, you need to shrink your texts to fit well on the paper; but with the app, you can work to any scale you prefer since the space is unlimited. You can share your maps with friends as pdf. Too.

Basically, this application is a timer, but the interesting thing is that it has a unique way to keep you focused on your lesson. By spending time studying, you are meanwhile planting a virtual tree and earning some coins. The very thoughtful and creative thing about this app is that the coins that you earn will be saved up and used to help real trees in countries in Africa. It encourages people to undeniably put down their phones because the trees will not grow if the app remains closed.

Not only that it can store your important notes, it is also another amazing place to organise your busy day by letting you add to do lists, put some images, view your calendar and so on. You can both type or handwrite on the note and save it as word document file or PDFs.

Needless to say, this application is not for cheating; however, it helps you to solve maths problems in less than a minute by just taking a photo of the problem. The app does not only give you the answer but it also gives you an explanation of how to solve the problem step by step. The main purpose of this app is to encourage students to try solving maths problems by themselves first, then use the app to recheck the answers. Since the solving method is different for each person, you should not rely too much on the app.
