However, with so many thousands of great apps to choose from, it is a challenge to find the ones that are the best for college students.

Here are some of the most popular iPhone apps for college students today:

* It is critical to stay up to date, however, browsing around on your iPhone and downloading all the dedicated apps can become a great hassle. That is where News Fuse comes in to help. This app takes eighteen different news sites and pulls them all into a single app. There are not a lot of features, and you cannot download and read offline, but it is a sleek and simple app that gives you the news you want.
* The Dictionary.com app for iPhone brings you more than 250,000 words and a built-in thesaurus for free. You get audio pronunciation as well as a list of words with similar spellings.
* If you are planning on a chemistry course, you need to come prepared with Chemical Elements. This is a great way to keep up with the periodic table. The elements can be sorted alphabetically or by their atomic number. You also are able to access the common features of the elements, and some even provide you with a picture.
* Another increasingly popular app among college students is the Read It Later app, which allows you to flag the websites that you find the most interesting, or download and read offline. This app is ideal when you are gathering research for a class project and do not want to overload your bookmarks. It is also great for downloading notes and reading them on the train ride to class. You can get a free version of this app, or purchase the Pro version for less than $3.
* Now what kind of college student would you be if you did not “tweet”? There are a number of different Tweeter apps available for iPhone. One of the most popular apps is Tweetie, which is ideal for staying up to date on everyone’s status, post pictures and links, etc.
* When you need the complete solution, the Things app for iPhone is easy to use and comes with an abundance of cool features.

This is the perfect app for the college student who thrives on organization.
* Available for the iPhone as well as the iPod Touch, the Kindle app is the best way to access the complete Kindle library. This is a fantastic way to gain access to some of your most favorite books and reading assignments. The books must still be purchased, but the iPhone app is completely free.
