Review: MyHomework Student Planner works as a digital planner for students. Users have access to more than 60 customizable themes. The built in class schedule widget allows students to create schedules for today’s classes. A homework calendar and organizer helps students plan ahead and keep track of assignments and tasks. Once in the app, users are directed to the Homework page which allows users to keep track of assignments, tests, and projects. These can be filtered by class, priority, and type. To begin inputting information, a plus sign is displayed in the right hand corner. The various properties within the page allows users to include a detailed description of the assignment. In the settings page, users can personalize homework preferences and engage with the app on social media. For students with disabilities, this app works as a reminder for important due dates, announcements, and as a way to keep track of class flow. Teachers are also able to use the app to share class assignments and other information with MyHomework users. Users must create an account to access the app’s services.
