The balance of having lots of great apps without cluttering up your phone is a hard one to find. Sometimes it takes a while to realise you're never going to use the work out app you downloaded with such good intentions, or the monitor that checks you've drunk enough water yet today.
Barring the standard social media apps you almost probably already have (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Tinder etc.), the list below is a great guide to the world of apps.
12 Apps All Students Should Have
Domino's Pizza(01 of12)
Excellent for when you forget to pick up dinner supplies before the shops close, or just because you feel like a yummy treat.

For the Mac users among us... SelfControl lets you block your own access to distracting websites (Facebook we're looking at you).
