Here are the best apps for students in 2025 – smart tools that make everyday student life easier, more affordable, and more efficient. Perfect for Noroff students who want to stay on top of everything from travel and finances to focus, music, and secure storage.

🎓 Student ID

The Studentbevis app works as a digital student ID at most Norwegian higher education institutions – including Noroff. Use it to verify your student status and access student discounts on public transport, gyms, streaming services, and more.

🚌 Travel apps

Travel apps allow you to buy tickets and track your journeys in real time.

  • Entur – brings together local and national transport options across Norway in one place.
  • Ruter / Skyss – local apps that make ticket purchases and real-time travel updates quick and easy.

Grocery deals and weekly offers

With Mattilbud, you get weekly access to digital flyers from grocery chains. Plan your shopping smarter and save money by seeing where the best deals are each week.

💰 Finance apps

Keep your finances under control with a few essential tools:

  • Vipps – split bills and pay your share of a shared dinner in seconds.
  • Mobile banking – check your balance, transfer money, and manage your budget on the go.
  • Lunar or Spiff – intuitive savings apps that make it easier and more motivating to save a little each month.

♻️ Tise – buy and sell second-hand

Make your spending more affordable and sustainable with Tise. Buy and sell clothes, home decor, textbooks, fitness gear, and more. Ideal for a student budget – and better for the environment.

Spotify

Spotify has music for every moment: focus playlists for studying, workout tracks for the gym, and the right vibe for student gatherings. Both free and paid versions are available, and students get a discount on Spotify Premium.

☁️ Backup and cloud storage

Don’t risk losing your term paper the day before the deadline. Store everything securely in the cloud:

  • Google Drive – store, edit, and share documents directly in your browser.
  • Dropbox – reliable storage and easy file sharing for group projects.

Scanner app

With Microsoft Lens (formerly Office Lens), you can scan notes, receipts, and contracts straight from your phone. Save them as PDFs or images and send them to OneDrive, Google Drive, or email in seconds.

💡 Pro tip

Create a dedicated folder on your phone called “Student apps.” Keep travel, finance, study tools, and storage apps in one place – and save time when you need them most.

Studying at Noroff is about more than gaining knowledge – it’s about using digital tools effectively. With these apps, you’ll gain better structure, financial control, and everyday inspiration. A small effort now can make your time as a student both easier and more rewarding.
