1. Yoyo Wallet

Free
Available on Apple and Android

Not having the change for a cup of coffee on campus isn’t a problem anymore with Yoyo. Link your card up to this app for quick, easy payments with no minimum spend at all cafes on Winchester campus.

2. Life Cycle

Free
Available on Apple

Life Cycle tracks your day for you, running in the background of your phone day and night.

Struggling to stay focused while studying? Forest encourages you leave your phone alone by planting trees. The longer you go without leaving the app, the larger your garden grows. It’s addictive!

The best thing about this app? If you stay focused long enough real trees are planted around the world.
