Modern technology greatly facilitates our lives. If before schoolchildren needed to carry a lot of books with them, today all the knowledge of the world easily fits in a mobile gadget. Of course, no one has yet canceled the scientific folios for students, but sometimes it is much more practical to use special programs for learning.
There are a lot of similar software on the Internet, and getting lost in all this diversity is very easy. In order not to drown in a sea of information, we bring to your attention popular programs necessary for study. All the software described below can be found both on the official resources of the developers, and in the services familiar to each platform - Google Play and the App Store.
"Foxford Tutorial"
The developer positions his product as a universal online reference for students in grades 4-11. One of the best programs for studying contains the theory, examples, solutions and cheat sheets for various disciplines. In addition, as a pleasant bonus, the developer offers over 500 video lessons with the best teachers of the country.
This program for study allows you to not only prepare for the next lesson, but also for the exam, as well as thematic olympiads. It is also worth noting that an Internet connection is not required for the application to work. Yes, the size of the distribution due to this grows significantly in volume, because there are no calls to cloud web databases, but for users with limited traffic this is a significant plus.
Software Features
The developer also provided a desktop version of his product. A program for studying on a PC is practically no different from a mobile counterpart, with the only difference being that the material on the big screen is digested much better.
The application offers to study 8 school subjects: mathematics, biology, Russian, history, physics, chemistry, computer science and social studies. The interface of the program for study can not be called complicated or confusing, so it will not be difficult for a student to deal with it. The software is adapted for the Android, iOS, Mac and Windows platforms.
Duolingo
Duolingo has nearly 7 million downloads on Google Play, and that says a lot. The application for learning English is really effective and helps to learn not only the basics, but also to get more advanced language skills.
The program allows you to improve your knowledge in practice: read, talk and write. There are training modes in the game format: to solve puzzles, complete tasks of assistants, etc. The application will help to increase vocabulary and improve grammar. Training, as expected, is conducted from simple to complex: verbs, phrases, sentences and after a connected speech.
If you run the program periodically, then every day you will learn something new and expand your vocabulary. The developer claims that 34 hours spent in his application are equal in effectiveness to the university semester. Judging by user reviews, the comparison is a bit overpriced, but the program really greatly simplifies learning English.
It is also worth noting that Duolingo is completely free. Yes, it could not do without the ubiquitous advertising banners, but they cannot be called aggressive. In addition to English, the program allows you to learn Spanish, French and German. But users note that the effectiveness of studying the first with the help of this software is much higher than the others. The application runs on the Android and iOS platforms.
Malmath
This is a utility for solving math problems. The program offers the user detailed step-by-step analysis of examples with a graphic image, if necessary. The application is completely autonomous and not tied to databases. So having an internet connection is not necessary for it to work.
The program allows you to solve algebraic problems, integrals, equations, logarithms, derivatives, limits, and is also strong in trigonometry. Moreover, thanks to step-by-step and sensible visualization, the student does not just get an answer, but delves into the process.
Judging by user reviews, the application was especially liked not only by high school students and students, but also by teachers. Parents of students also favor this software and successfully use examples to collaborate with their children.
Software Features
The application interface is simple and intuitive, so any student will figure it out. The program is quite demanding on the system resources of a mobile gadget, so owners of smartphones with less than 1 GB of RAM should better find something easier. The program is designed to work with the Android platform.
The application is free, but with some restrictions. Schoolchildren of middle and senior classes have no problems with solving problems. But more complex equations for universities, along with phased explanations, are blocked. To access them you have to buy a subscription. The cost of the latter is comparable to the price of an ordinary toy in Google Play, so students should not have serious problems.
"Chemistry"
This application (developed by Denis Chaschin) helps solve chemical equations and find reactions with one or several unknowns. You will always have at your disposal a perfectly visualized periodic table with a solubility table. Also in the program menu you can find a very convenient mass calculator.
The application proved to be equally good at solving problems with organic and inorganic chemistry. The result will be presented in ionic or conventional form. In some cases, specific formulas of organic chemistry are drawn. The utility interface is simple and straightforward, and in case of any problems, the local help system will come to the rescue.
Judging by the feedback from users, the program almost completely replaces the paper textbook and helps to prepare not only for daily classes, but also for passing serious exams like the exam. The application is free, so sometimes ad units pop up. But the latter appear quite rarely and practically do not interfere with working with the utility. The program runs on the Android and iOS platforms.
