Need to get things done? These apps stand out as the most helpful, both in a work and play setting.

​The development of mobile devices has allowed us to essentially have computers in the palm of our hands. With so much power at our disposal, we can do so many things such as track our fitness goals, shop, and entertain ourselves on the go. These devices also allow us to get our work done, regardless of where our desk is. The following apps support us in accomplishing this feat. 

1. Wunderlist

Price: Free; $4.99/month or $49.99/year
Available on Google Play and the App Store
​
Picture
​Any person with a busy schedule has to keep everything straight, and Wunderlist does exactly that. While nothing may exactly jump off the page at you at first glance, this app offers layers of functionality the more you use it. You can create lists with items you need done, as well as organize these lists into folders. Users are also offered a simple collaboration method within Wunderlist, as users can be added to any list and assigned any tasks within that list. There is also a chat feature where collaborators may communicate within the context of the same list, which normally is not included in free versions of similar apps. 

2. Slack

Price: Free
Available on Google Play and the App Store
​

​Slack offers a proficient alternative to email, allowing users to utilize a real-time group messaging and file sharing system. Instead of dealing with the inevitable delay that comes with email, Slack quickens the communication within a team. The app is also able to function alongside apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Twitter, and many others, allowing users to use whatever resources are at their disposal.

3. Scanner Pro

Price: $2.99
Available on the App Store
​

​As mentioned previously, mobile devices are capable of accomplishing a number of different tasks. Scanner Pro allows your device to be used as a portable scanner. Documents such as receipts, whiteboards, and notes can be scanned and saved to cloud-storage services such as Dropbox. Scanner Pro’s software also fine tunes images, giving the clearest image possible. 

4. Dropbox

Price: Free for 5GB of storage
$9.99/mo or $99.99/year for 1TB of storage

Available on Google Play and the App Store
​
Picture
​With it being mentioned in accordance with other apps, Dropbox couldn’t be left off of this list. While there are a number of stock cloud storage systems, Dropbox is a reliable, easy-to-use way to share word documents, pictures, and videos. Being able to access these files while offline truly gives users access to their content wherever they are. 

5. Facebook Pages Manager

Price: Free
​Available on Google Play and the App Store
​

Picture
Pages Manager helps businesses connect with their audience on Facebook and keep up with activity on multiple Pages, all in one place. Post updates and photos about your business and respond to comments as your Page. You can view and reply to private messages sent to your Business Page as well as get valuable insights like:
  • How many people you are reaching
  • How many Page likes you are getting
  • How often people are engaging with your business
  • What types of posts work the best for your business
We have barely scratched the surface on the complete list of apps to help improve your business. Stay tuned for more great apps and ways your Smartphone or tablet can give you and your business a healthy boost of productivity.
