Every student is curious and wants to have some good apps to organize their life and want to be successful. Here you are going to get a list of some of the best and most useful apps students should use. I used most of the apps I am mentioning. Best app for students are :

Focus App (Forest):

This app gives you the option to set your time you want to focus on any task. If you don't use any other app during this time and concentrate on your work the tree is planted otherwise your tree will be destroyed. Moreover, you can get into competition with your friends by connecting social accounts. In the case of a premium account, you can use specific apps that help you in your task. All the funds generated from the premium is donated for tree plantation.
Type: Free, In-app purchases.

Notes (Google Keep):

Google keep is one of the best apps for keeping the to-do list or notes. Along with text, you can add pictures as well as audio notes. These notes can be organized using Labels. Your notes can have either points or plain text only.
Type: Free

Travel (UBER):

In case your Educational institute doesn't provide transportation and there is no public transport available around you. Then you should have the backup transportation option. In this situation, ride-hailing services are really important. Based on your region you can find the most appropriate transportation service. You just have to enter your Pickup point, drop off location and select vehicle type. Such services are really useful in case you miss your regular transport.
Type: Free app, Fare calculated per ride is to be paid.
Alternative: SWVL, LYFT, and many more depending on your country.

Email apps(GMAIL):

To stay up-to-date you need an email app where you can get email notifications in real-time. I recommend Gmail app as it comes pre-installed in the case of Android and is widely compatible.
Type: Free
Alternative: Outlook, Blue-mail.

Scanner (CamScanner):

It's impossible to take all the classes sometimes for some reason you may miss one or more classes but you cannot sit and start writing all of those missed notes. You can use CamScanner to open such notes and store them in digital form or print them and save a lot of time.
Type: Free, Premium
Alternative: Office Lens, Foxit (PDF viewer + scanner)

Office app(WPS Office):

Especially college and University students need this app as they normally receive notes, slides, etc and they need to open them as soon as possible. I use it because it's light and all in one file opener it is capable of opening text files, document files, slides, datasheets, PDF files. Moreover, it is mobile friendly.
Type: Free, Premium
Alternative: MS Office (MS WORD, MS POWERPOINT, MS EXCEL), Google Office (Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets).

Budget Management (Money Manager):

As students begin their college life they need to manage their money they need to keep track of their spendings and budget.
Type: Free

Cloud Storage (Google Drive):

Google Drive, in my opinion, is the best cloud storage as it contains 15GB free storage which is upgradable. You can store any type of file whether it's a document, video, audio, image or any zip file. Moreover, free users can keep their multiple devices synced with it. Using Google Drive Mobile app, Google Desktop Sync as well as Google Drive web.
Type: Free, Premium
Alternative: One Cloud (5GB free), Mega (15GB free).

Educational app:

Depending on your fields of education you can find a bunch of apps that are helpful in education most of them are free and have paid courses or memberships.
General: Udemy, EdX, Coursera (these apps and websites contain paid as well as free courses in different fields.)
Programming: SoloLearn, Codecademy Go. (To learn different programming/coding skills)
Language: DuoLingo, Memrise (These apps are useful for learning different languages)

Bonus:

Use a good keyboard for your devices such as Swift Keyboard, Fleksy keyboard or Gboard for good response.
Tip! Do not change your keyboard frequently it will cause excessive typing errors and decrease your work rate.
Using these apps can be helpful. Let me know about any app you think should be on this list.
