Now to the main matter...

APP 1. WHATSAPP:
A list of useful apps would be incomplete without Whatsapp. Everything happens here. You department's group chat? Your friends & family? The fine babe you're chyking? The tall handsome dude that collected your number? They are all on Whatsapp.

APP 2. NOTES/CALENDER:
I put them together as one because they did basically the same thing for me; THEY REMINDED ME.
The truth is; life happens, and we all get busy. We won't remember many tasks and appointments. One thing however is we always go out with our phones. Why not use it to your advantage?

APP 3. ALARM:
As a student, you can't do without the alarm app on your phone. I used to set multiple alarms in a day. Most times anywhere between 7-10(2/3 for waking up, for reading, for a meeting or whatever activity I had to complete).

APP 4. CAMERA:
Cameras are used to capture moments and memories, but as a student, the most important use would be to snap notes, textbooks and lecture materials. Very soon, you'd have a gallery full of lecture material...lol.

APP 5. BUKKISH:
My FUTO stay wasn't easy. I learnt a lot of things late and the hard way. To start with, it's the reason I created this guide. To help further, myself and two other FUTO graduates are building an app to 'hack' FUTO. From studying to connecting you to other other students and relevant information on campus.
I believe we can make life in FUTO, just a little bit better, just a little bit easier and just a little more BUKKISH. Go to https://www.bukkish.com to get started.
