College is the best time to have a schedule, or, not to have one. Your daily routine may comprise various activities such as travelling, reading various articles, eating and so on. You may want to start your day in style, visit new places and find out about new and exciting things you can share with your friends. Here are some apps that can help make your day-to-day life smoother.

MORNING KIT – SMART ALARM

If you want to stat your day in a systematic way, this app can be your guide. It can help you quickly view your schedule, the weather, news headlines, inspirational quotes and much more. Sporting a simple and compact look, it comes with a plethora of features.

You can apply a background theme from your gallery or use a default one, use morning kit music or your favourite music track for the alarm, sync all your calendars, get weather updates from around the world and get a countdown clock for an event you’ve been waiting for.

You can also customise the information panels, which include weather, photo frame, news, world clock, calendar, date, date countdown, quotes, Flickr, memo and exchange rates to suit your needs. (http://bit.ly/1pcoJKu)

SAFETIPIN: COMPLETE SAFETY APP

Planning to explore a new place but worried about how safe it would be? With the help of this personal safety app, you can check out the safety score of whichever place you’re planning to visit.

It helps you compare the safety score of your neighbourhood with others, locate nearby places of interest with their safety information and directions and enable you to report what you see and feel at a place.

The app requires you to login so that the data you access can be saved and becomes easily accessible to you whenever you need it.

Also, once you login, you can provide your own safety score to a place, post comments and record a harassment incident at a place. It also has a safety audit option that specifies how the night lighting, openness, visibility, security, walk path, public transport and other factors are at specific location.

PINTEREST

We are always in pursuit of discovering something new. Creative ideas for a project or hobby, things to buy and do, recipes to cook, articles to read, gifts to buy, creative ways to save money… the list is endless. This app can help you find and collate all this and more.

When you start the app for the first time, it prompts you to select what you’re interested in. Based on your selection, the app finds ‘pins’ for you, which are various popular articles from all over the Internet.

If a post catches your eye, you can pin it to view it whenever you want. You can create a board to categorise the pins you like.
