Our generations most prized possession is most definitely the cell phone. People live on their phone, some even say, you're psychologically attached to your cell phone. Nowadays, you basically either have an Android or an iPhone. On both of these technologically advanced smart phones, you can download applications, also known as, apps. At the U of A, there are essential apps that I'm sure most students would recommend to make your time easier at this insanely huge school. Here are seven apps that are a major key to U of A student life.
1. Venmo.
Instead of carrying cash with your friends, you can pay your friends with venmo! Venmo transfers money from your bank account into the other persons. I know it sounds utterly sketchy, but I assure you it's totally safe.
2. GroupMe.
To be honest, I'd never even heard of GroupMe until I came to school at the U of A. GroupMe is a crucial key to campus life because a lot of organizations and clubs at the U of A connect through this app. Groups for schoolwork assignments also might use GroupMe to connect, so it's definitely a social and an academic component.
3. Tapingo.
We all know the agony of waiting in a long line for food. Well, with Tapingo, you can order your food ahead of time on this app so, you don't have to wait on any of those lines. Tapingo also delivers from on-campus and off-campus locations. Another neat thing about Tapingo is that you can pay the delivery fee with your meal plan. I mean what U of A student wouldn't love that?
4. Whatsgoodly.
The app with mildly (or not so mildly) sexual questions and greeks basically hating on each other. But it's pretty entertaining when you're bored in that 9 a.m. math class.
5. Your bank app.
No matter which bank you have, Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America etc., you should have your banks app on your phone to keep track of your money. You're going to need to know when the next time to ask mom and dad to put more money in the bank is.
6. Lyft/Uber.
The Lyft and Uber apps are basically the same thing. Both apps are extremely prominent at the U of A. I would recommend having both because sometimes the prices are lower on one over the other.
7. Arizona Mobile.
This is one of the handiest apps if you go to the U of A. You can get to your D2L, UAcess and CatMail all through this app. This app even offers a full campus map, CatTran times and a book of events going on at the school. U of A students, you will definitely get a good use out of this.
