There is little doubt that people seem to be developing deep relationships with their phones and tablets. Apps are a big part of that devotion—they are attentive when we need them to be and take care of small but important tasks for us.  Indeed, apps can help manage nearly every aspect of your life, and for college students who are overwhelmed with school, homework, and jobs, the right app can provide much appreciated support and stress relief.

It then creates a study efficiency graph to show you how well you’re staying on task.
