My study life
Organising your student life
I’ve been wanting to use and review this app for a while but
haven’t done so due to many reasons. Over time a certain hype was built up
towards the app, and once I finally used it, I wasn’t disappointed. You may
wonder why it was so difficult for me to muster up the energy to use the app,
and I shall tell you why.
The app allows you to sign up either through google, Facebook,
or email and syncs with all your devices through the cloud. Next you must then set up your timetable with all your classes, any
upcoming exams and any other tasks you need to complete. This is the tedious
part of setting up the app. I am naturally lazy and put it off for as long as
possible, however I wish I hadn’t.
Once your account is all set up, my study life is a
brilliant way of keeping up with your work, knowing what to do and when. It’s
got 4 main functions. The first is to inform you of anything that you have
today, the second is to inform you of any upcoming exams, and the third is to
remind you of your upcoming classes while the fourth reminds you of any general
tasks that you need to do. All of this is accessible and visible through the
dashboard. A calendar that allows you see further ahead (weekly or monthly) is accessible
through a swipe of the sidebar. You receive timely notifications on any tasks
that are coming up soon. The website version is just as practical and even more
beautiful than the app (the app’s UI is very eye pleasing) with slick
animations visible through almost any action. A chrome extension can also be
downloaded to allow push notifications and the like.

The only complaints I can think of is the long setup time
(although necessary) and the fact that being an American app, not everything is
compatible here in the UK (mainly things such as the use of semesters instead
of terms).
Overall my study life is a great app that makes your student
life just that much more organised. I would highly recommend it to any student
who’s looking for a modern PDA like experience, or to those who just seem to
forget about a homework assignment given the previous week.
My study life is available on Android, iOS, Windows 8 and Chrome.
