There are so many free apps out there, and us college students should be taking advantage of them. Here's several that you can get on your iPhone that are either free or really cheap, that you all should be taking full advantage of:

1. Pocket Points

Pocket Points is a free app that gives students rewards and discounts for not using their phone during their classes! All you have to do is download the app, sign up, and lock your phone while you have the app open and you will automatically be earning points. Points get you discounts and sometimes even free rewards for food and more!

2. Tapingo

Are you ever sitting in class thinking about how hungry you are, but you can't get food between classes because you don't have enough time? Tapingo is a free app that is fantastic, as long as your school also uses it. If your school uses the app, you can use it around campus and simply place an order while walking to class and pick it up on the way. It even connects to your meal plan if you have one, and it definitely works with you credit card!

3. Poshmark

Are you constantly looking for cute clothes that don't break the budget? Poshmark is a free resale app where you can buy and sell clothes. The clothes that you buy are usually much cheaper than retail. They always have cute clothes and endless possibilities of finding what you're looking for.

4. Lyft

At some point or another we all need a lift. Lyft is an app with the same concept of Uber. It allows you to tip your driver and receive discounts about once a month. Talking to my drivers, they usually work for Lyft and Uber, but prefer to drive for Lyft because of the amazing benefits.

5. Venmo

Venmo is a free app that is used to transfer money. You can transfer money to someone you owe or you can request it from them if they owe you. It's super easy, and all you do is connect it to your bank account and find your friends on it. Highly recommend this app due to how handy and useful it is!
