My contract is over, time to get a new phone and may get one of these. If I do, my 17 year old will want to "borrow" it from me.
There is an app for bookmarks that would be useful for keeping track of things in textbooks etc. for students

If you ask me, too much importance is given to fashion and technology. Teenagers should focus more on their education when they are in highschool.
Hello. I really enjoyed your list and thought you covered all the necessary apps!
Im starting my own blog up at;

Would be appreciated if you could check it out & perhaps comment!
I don't have an iPhone but I often use my phone for calculator, converter, dictionary, and reminder. All of them help me so much.
yeah, that's what I've got on my iPhone. I like the voice notes feature in assignments, but not for 6 dollars.
I love my iphone and even if im not a student have Art installed. Great app for creative people like me.
