With the school year here again, it's time to clear your Android's home screen to make room for the apps that you will need to get things done as well as stay sane through the semester. Here are some awesome Android apps that will help you out this
school year.

2. Algeo graphing calculator (Free)
Instead of spending $70-$100 on a new graphing calculator for your advanced math classes, put your quad core device to work with Algeo. Algeo has your basic scientific calculator needs handled while it offers more advanced graphing and multiple function capabilities for graphing and plotting.
3. Thumb (Free)
Getting opinions and feedback quickly while you are in school is important. How are you going to know if the shoes you are about to buy look cute and cool enough? With Thumb you can get opinions about anything quickly from a ton of different people, as well as dish out opinions of your own.
4. Evernote (Free)

It's fast and you can even use other wiki sites with it like Wikiquote, Uncyclopedia and more.
