Thanks John,
I definitely agree with you statement about apps revolutionising a learners ability to study. Using apps have transformed the way that I learn but I am a bit stuck in my ways with the ones I use.
I’ve just had a quick look at HabitRPG and it looks ace. I’ll definitely be passing this on to a few science/computing students that I know.

Hello,
Some other apps worth considering are:
EverNote
Noteability
Good Reader/iAnnotate/PDF reader
Corkulous
Remember the Milk / Todoist
GPS based reminders (Geobells, GPS alarm etc)
There are some fun niche apps out there too - for example, for 'gamer students', with poor time management, HabitRPG generally gets a positive reaction from the gamer segment of the student population! But thats why I think apps are brilliant, there are so many variations that they can be well tailored to the individual student.
Some of these apps can revolutionise a students ability to study - just takes knowing about the apps and a couple of £.
Kind regards,
John Hodgson
