Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a repeat thread, but I just wanted to spinoff the best mac apps thread for discussion about apps suited for student use. I only ask for a few general guidelines for people when they suggest apps:
1) Specify if the app is free or paid. If you're like me, you're a college student living on financial aid and top ramen!
2) If you feel if the app is subject specific--i.e., for math students, researchers, etc.--then note so.
3) I want this thread to be more geared towards OS X apps, but if there are any companion iOS apps that you recommend, then feel free to suggest. I know there's some really creative ways that people use their iPhones/iPads for. The same goes for internet browser (i.e., Chrome/Safari/Firefox) extensions.
4) If you know if the app is incompatible with Lion, Snow Leopard, etc., please note so.
5) Try to list if the app is available on the App Store or elsewhere. If you don't know the original site you downloaded from or if you just don't know at all, then don't stress it.
Final note, don't just limit your suggestions to just apps that are specifically used for productivity. Think of your lifestyle as a student and the apps that you use that help you keep up and do the things you need to do. Happy studying and good luck with the new school year, guys!
