*The Best Planner App*




As some students might have noticed at the beginning of the school year, students are no longer given a planner. However, many apps in the app store can replace these paper planners (and some are even better). However, the app myHomework seems to be the most common digital planner throughout the school. myHomework is a very organized app that has a format that is pretty similar to Haiku. Students can set up their schedule by time, blocks, or periods. This is extremely useful as the Tampa Prep schedules miss one to two classes each day. Users can see their schedules through the Home page: their class overview, the schedule for the day, or tomorrow's schedule. From any of these three tabs, users can see all of their homework.

Adding assignments is extremely quick and easy. You simply press the plus button, write a short description/title, choose the class, set a due date (myHomework with automatically set the due date as the next time you have the class). myHomework also gives you the option to set the type of assignment such as homework, test, project, etc. You also have the ability to give an assignment priority from low to high. If you choose, myHomework can send you a reminder at a time you choose. The Homework page organizes your assignments into three sections: completed, late, upcoming.

myHomework also comes with a Calendar view. From this page, users can see the schedule and due homework (denoted by a dot) on any day. Assignments can also be created here so that it will be due on the day the users selects on the calendar. Calendar view also can be viewed by month or week.

Best of all, myHomework is completely free. Although, for features such as themes and attaching a file to assignments requires a paid upgrade. Besides that, the free version is completely functional and has everything you would need. Instead of attaching a file, users can simply write a note to themselves when creating an assignment to download the file from wherever it might be.
