Abstract
University students in South Africa often struggle with time management, leading to academic underperformance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys and qualitative interviews among South African university students. Twelve percent of participants reported using time-management apps regularly for at least one hour per week, with significant differences in engagement across faculties. The study suggests that effective use of time-management apps can positively impact academic performance among university students. Educators should integrate technology training into curricula and promote the use of evidence-based time management tools. University Students, Time-Management Apps, Academic Performance, South Africa
