‘Tis the season for finals. This means cramming for papers, doing group projects and trying our best to not fall asleep in class. It’s the one thing that none of us look forward to, but the idea of the holidays keeps us going.
Besides apps like “Quizlet” and “Evernote” that help with studying, there are even more helpful apps that you can download. One of these many apps is called “StudyBlue.”
The app was created in 2006 by Chris Klundt who, “envisioned a platform in which students could easily study better together,” said the “StudyBlue” official website.
The app can be accessed by logging into Facebook or your Google Account. You can create different stacks of flashcards, and the size of the deck can be anywhere from 10 to 60 cards.
The app asks you what school you go to and you can add what class you are looking for. When you find the one you want, it tells you the professor and gives you a whole bunch of study materials that you can use for the class. And you can even look at homework questions that were previously asked.
“StudyBlue” is a part of Chegg. Chegg is mostly known for the fact that you can buy or rent books and even sell them back.
“‘StudyBlue’ has been used by over 16 million students worldwide. We’ve helped overachievers, struggling students, procrastinators, mathletes and many more study better, together,” said the StudyBlue website.
The app is for quick use before a test or quiz. It is perfect for when you need to add in a little bit of extra studying for that upcoming final.
“StudyBlue” can be found for free download on iTunes and the Google Play store.
