APProved

Welcome to APProved, the show created for students by students. Inspired by the daily struggles of internationals in the Netherlands, we embarked on a mission to find apps that would benefit students’ lives and are worth their time. Each episode we will review and compare apps that could be useful for students by saving them time and/or money. They will be judged on multiple points to show the advantages and disadvantages they have based on experience, efficiency and price.

The first Episode is about language learning apps and which would be (most) useful for students to learn the Dutch language.

Now how do you say the letter G again?

The last Episode is about shopping, while people often buy new stuff, second hand can be just as great quality. A lot of clothes and household items go to waste every year, why not give them a new life for a reasonable price?
