Viber	Free	PC Mag rates it excellent with 4 of 5 stars	Viber lets you call out, text, send pics and video to other Viber members. It’s free (for others with the app) and easy to use; great for those that aren’t near family and friends at college.

LinkedIn	Free	PC Mag rates it excellent, with 4.5 out of 5 stars.	LinkedIn is a professional Facebook. It allows you to connect with personally known professionals, read articles of interest, highlight your experience and skills, and follow businesses.
Dictionary	Free (shock!)	Recapp gives this a 5 of 5 rating. I mean, this is a seriously useful app folks!	This app allows the user to search the meaning of words. I know, I know, didn’t see that one coming did you?
College Study Buddy	Free	Google Play users (188 in all) give this app a 4.3 out of 5 star rating.	This app is one that gets you organized! It’s a planner on a convenience steroid. I like it even more since it was developed by a student.
Zillow	Free	iTunes users (4072 in all) rate the most current version it with 4.5 out of 5 stars.	This app takes the hassle out of house hunting! New to town? Not sure where to look for rentals? This app is awesome! It gives you info on apartments, houses, duplexes; basically a ton of places.
I Can’t Wake Up! Alarm Clock	Free (seriously, who has money to throw away?)	13,233 users have rated this a 4.5 out of 5 star app.	Get this: this alarm clock app makes you complete 8 different tasks before you can shut it off! No more being late to class.
Thesaurus Free	Free	iTunes users also gave this a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. (Would I tell you about a sucky app?)	News flash! It lets you look up synonyms and antonyms for words. It’s pretty prodigious!
MyFitnessPal	Free	Jefferson Graham of USA Today chose this app over the Lose It app because of the available restaurant menu item counter.	This app lets you track what you’re eating, how much water you drink, daily exercise and more; and once you input your weight goal it tells you the calorie intake needed to meet that goal. It even has a scanner so that you can scan bar-codes and skip the data input. It’s pretty great for getting in-shape once the ‘rents are no longer in charge of your meals.
Mint	Free	Investor Junkie rates this a 3 out of 5 star (the author is in the tech industry)	This app allows you to create a budget, track spending, get alerts prior to accruing late fees, and sync with your online accounts. It’s pretty cool, and from what I’ve read it’s no less secure than your desktop computer. But I am definitely not an expert.
