Get organised for 99p!

Being a uni student, organisation is a key attribute. As easy as it is to scribble notes down in a diary, I've spent a fortune on them and never used one for more than two weeks. But surprise surprise, Apple has made an App to do it for me! Its called ‘Classes’ and costs around 99p. I'm constantly on my phone so it’s a fantastic idea to keep on top of all my readings, homework and exams.
Here's a few screen shots of the App. This is what the home screen looks like, it’s the ‘week view’ of my timetable, all the lectures are colour coded to make it easier to read (you choose the colour when putting in the timetable info).
This is what the ‘day view’ of the App looks like, as you can see the lectures name, room number and lecture title are all there as well as the time they start and finish. During the lecture it also tells you how long is left. As you can see there are two little notification bubbles across the bottom menu on the ‘Homework’ and ‘Exam’ button. These notification bubbles also show on the main screen of the phone until they are completed.
This is what the ‘Homework’ section looks like. Again there colour coded, they include the homework title and due date. Once you’ve completed the home work you just click the little circle and it takes the notification bubble off the main screen and homework button so you know you’ve completed it.
The ‘Exam’ section looks similar to the ‘Homework’ section, colour coded and lecture names. But it also shows you the time and date of the exam along with the finishing time. It really is a great App and well worth the 99p. Fab bargain for students!
