1. WhatsApp – Perfect for Communication with Your Friends and Family

Making phone calls is extremely expensive when you study in a foreign country and want to stay in touch with anyone you love. There is no need to limit yourself in talking to your loved ones.

2. XE Currency Converter – Makes It Quick and Simple to Convert Any Currency

3. Eat the World – Eat Good Food Wherever You Are

Students need to eat properly for their brains to absorb new knowledge easily. When there is no enough time to prepare food yourself, find the best and affordable restaurants with a local cuisine. The app also features the most popular meals and foods in a foreign country you are visiting and suggests places where you can find them.

4. Travel Health – Feel Safer Abroad

When you are away from home and all alone, anything can happen to you. New weather conditions, new food, or unfamiliar terrain can cause certain health disorders, digestion problems, or injuries. Having a first-aid handbook in your smartphone can save your life or someone else’s. The app features information written by medical professionals and is sorted according to the symptoms of a disorder. 

5. Kindle – Smart Way to Read and Study

When studying in a foreign country, you will hardly find time to learn something. That’s why you should always have an access to any book you need. With the Kindle app, you can have millions of e-books right at your fingertips without even having a Kindle device. You can either enjoy free books or shop for some newer editions. The app lets you synchronize your books between different devices and customize your reading preferences, like font size or background color. You can make notes or highlight certain parts.

6. Time Out – Knowing Where to Go Today

One of the benefits of studying abroad is learning a foreign culture. And you can do it when visiting some local events at your free from study time. The app will notify you about all the upcoming events that are expected to take place soon. It can also create your customized travel guide based on your preferences and interests. Currently, the app features information about nearly 30 cities, so you can check their website if you can’t find your new city on the list.

7. Citymapper – Find Your Way with Ease

This app is an advanced journey planner that is perfect for students who have just come to a foreign country and have a lot of destinations to visit. It gives much more detailed information than Google maps, such as traffic jam alerts or real-time departures. Whether you need to get to your college, dormitory, part-time job, or just to visit a certain event nearby, Citymapper will take care of you in a busy crowded city.

8. WalkJogRun – Train Everywhere

Love jogging? Moving to a foreign country to study is not the reason to abandon your hobby only because you don’t know the routes.

You will be able to record your expenses and thus know how much has been spent and left. Quite a convenient and handy app for students who want to save a bit and ensure they meet their budget. 

10. Evernote – Don't Miss a Thing

As I have already mentioned, finding time to study is not easy when you are in a foreign country with so many new things to see and places to visit. With Evernote, you can make important notes, create study plans or write to-do lists wherever you are, be it a party, restaurant or local beach.
