For University students lucky enough to afford handheld multi-media devices, there are apps galore that will see you through “the best years of your life.” Apple’s innovative iPhones, iPods and iPads are not just merely for entertainment purposes but can also be used as effective adult learning tools together with other useful features that will help ease the day to day endeavours of student life. Here are cheapest-iPod’s ten of the best.
Chemical Elements Table
An absolute diamond of an app for chemistry students is the Chemical Elements app. You’ll never confuse your irons with your ores when you’ve got the periodic table at your fingertips. It lists every chemical property and formula known to man and gives you the properties of all the elements. Not only that but it comes complete with images so you can learn to recognise compounds when you see them – which might come in useful when throwing a Bunsen Burners around near explosive powders.
iPad and Mac desktop users also have access to a new touchable molecular weight calculator by tapping on the periodic table and entering the chemical formula. What’s more this app is absolutely free.
A Brief History of Genetics
The discovery of DNA was a significant turning point in the history of man and our understanding of where we came from. The Brief History of Genetics gives you an interactive insight of the development of modern genetics with a touch-moveable timeline that allows you to jump between decades of discovery. For students of biology, history and archaeology, this app acts as a quick reminder for essential dates and the important discoveries that explain the origins of the species – and perhaps, where we’re heading.

Kelly Services
For students struggling to financially support themselves through an impoverished University lifestyle, a part-time job has to be you’re key objective.

Blood Alcohol Content Calculator
Binge drinking is becoming the bane of the nation if you believe everything you read in the Daily Mail. But it is a known medical fact that too much alcohol can damage your liver – not to mention blackouts and UDI’s (Unidentified Drinking Injuries). For those of you who are conscious about exceeding dangerous alcohol limits, the blood alcohol content calculator is the ideal solution to measuring the level of alcohol concentration in your blood; at the very least you will learn your limits. Will the one for the road tip you over the edge? Responsible drinking has never been in a student’s vocabulary, but it’s not too late to start. You can still have fun playing it safe – and remember what you did the next morning.
Unit Converter
If you get confused how many kilometres per hour translates to miles per hour and how pounds weigh up in stones, the Unit Converter measures common units such as speed, distance, temperature and volume. This app is most useful for overseas students, in particularly those studying in Britain from the United States and Europe or vice versa.
Area Calculation Tool
The Area Calculation tool allows you to measure a dimensional space and calculate the square footage, yardage, or inches simply by inputting the latitude and longitude figures. Ideal for surveyors, architects and maths students it can also be used for other professions such as estate agents, property planners and firemen. Also allows you to email your findings and take a screen shot of the area you are calculating.
Study Buddy
There are numerous study buddy apps that help you learn just about any subject imaginable. But more than that, it allows you to take notes, and records the length of time you’ve been studying. Scientific tests show the human brain does not have the capacity to concentrate for more than 45 minutes increments, so set the clock and get your head down till the alarm tells you to take a breather.
Student Loan Payments Calculator
One of the most nerve-wrecking considerations about attending University is how much debt your student years will run up. Though most student loans have a clause stipulating you don’t have to pay anything back until you are earning a certain amount, inevitably the day will come when the bank will chase you for repayments. The Student Loan Payment Calculator works out the cost of repayments based on your original loan and interest rate and tells you how many years you can expect to pay off the loan. Knowing in advance may be a sobering reality before you consider pushing the boat out the next time you hit the disco.
Drinking Games 2rv
With all the studying and stress over having no money, it is important that students let their hair down every once in a while. And what better way than a get together with friends for a night of in-house drinking games. This app has hundreds of fun drinking games to choose from including Card, Coin, Dice, Board Games, Endurance, Speed, Luck, Physical, Film and TV. And if you don’t know when to stop check your blood alcohol content app (see above).
