Heading back to school? There's an app for that

We found several apps that can help you navigate the school year.

CLEVELAND — If your kids are headed back to school, they may need some help -- and parents may need it, too.

We found several apps that can help you navigate the school year.

According to RealSimple.com, instead of trying to squeeze all those homework assignments into a paper calendar, try the MyHomework app. This app is a digital homework checklist. 

Photomath is the number one app for math learning. All you have to do is snap a picture of the math problem you're solving, and the app walks you through the problem step-by-step.

Finally, Quizlet makes life simple. This app allows students to create flashcards for any test or quiz. We spoke to one student who said, “The best thing about this app is, depending on the class, the flashcards may be already made.”

For parents, Milk is an app that lets you set up a family calendar that can be connected to Google Calendar. It helps you remember those tedious tasks that you sometimes forget because of your busy schedule.

We all know life comes at you fast during the school year, so also remember the Life360 app. This app helps you keep track of family and friends. It's also great for parents, but probably a buzzkill for teens. You can even check when they head to class, or when they're getting off the bus with realtime alerts.

For those who are encouraging their kids to learn from home, Epic! is a virtual library that provides access to 35,000 popular children’s books and videos to help them learn.
