Having trouble concentrating? Want to find some extra tools that'll help you study better? Look no further. These 3 ingenious apps may just be right for you.

Forest

This app is just sooooo cute. It lets you plant a tree in the game every time you start studying or focus on something. If you ever decide to leave the app and use your phone to procrastinate the new tree you plant will whither away. If you continuously stay focused on your tasks, eventually, you could grow a whole forest. You can even share your different forests with your friends and see how you stack up with them when it comes to avoiding procrastination. Slowly, like any other game, you gain points for successfully growing trees which you can use to buy other tree varieties or even put towards planting a tree in real life!  

30/30

This task manager is simple yet effective. You set up a list of tasks you have to do for the day and a length of time for each of them. Once you have started the timer, it'll tell you when to move on to the next task. You can organise your day into study sprints with breaks in between, allowing you to be as productive as possible.

Photomath

FINALLY. FINALLY. An app that will solve a maths problem immediately for you without you having to even type the question in! Point your camera at a problem and voila, it will give you a step by step solution for it. Now don't expect it to solve your 4 unit maths problems on motion, but it can pretty much solve all fraction, linear, decimal and logarithm equations.
