Doc tape
“Effortless file management” is the motto of the online service Doctape. With the app developed specifically for this purpose, users can upload and manage their private and professional files at any time via their mobile device. However, the service is not only limited to ordinary documents, but also supports many other document formats such as video, audio and image files. All of this can be compiled into a tape and shared with friends.

Organize
iStudiez Pro
This app brings structure to everyday university life. The central thing is the personal timetable, which can be filled with all the important information: lectures, seminars and exercises, room and course numbers, submission and exam dates as well as the lecturer's contact details and office hours. The grade book is also helpful, so you can always keep an eye on your own grade average. Upcoming tasks are managed on a to-do list - organized by subjects and priority and enriched with the contact details of the course participants or learning group.
Available for: iPhone and iPad
Price: €2.69*
Android alternative: Class Buddy (€1.49), School Helper (free)
Any.DO TODO
Calling your mom back, shopping for the shared cooking evening, revising your seminar paper – with this app you can easily create to-do lists. If you don't feel like typing, you can simply speak your upcoming tasks using a microphone and have Any.DO automatically convert them into text. If you don't want to be a lone fighter, share the lists with friends, family members or fellow students.
Available for: Android, iPhone and iPad

Note
Dragon Dictation
Never type notes again? Or having to borrow notes from fellow students because the professor was faster than your own pen? The speech recognition software Dragon Dictation currently comes closest to this dream, although it cannot currently convert entire lectures into the written word. Nevertheless, speech-to-text transcription works - even if it is not always error-free - for SMS and emails as well as for your own flashes of inspiration, smaller discussion groups and conversations.
Available for: iPhone and iPad
Price: free
Android alternative: Tape-a-Talk Pro Voice Recorder – records entire lectures without converting them into written text (0.99 €, Lite version free)
Evernote
Notes determine everyday study life, are useful repositories of ideas, but are often scribbled in the margins of notebooks or on postal notes without any discernible system. Evernote organizes the chaos virtually and in the process overtakes the good old sticky notes. In addition to text notes, the app also catalogs photo and video files, voice memos and graphics. Using a search function, each individual entry can be found quickly.
Available for: Android, iPhone and iPad
