Business Column: Apps

While just about every adult with an Ipad seems to find slicing digital strawberries and oranges endlessly entertaining, there is more to life online beyond Fruit Ninja.

 

New geek about town, Christian Jackson of Get IT Qualified, lets us in on a few of his favourite business apps. christianjackson.co.uk

 

1.   Evernote One that I'm particularly fond of.

 

Evernote is an easy-to-use, free app that helps you remember everything across all of the devices you use. You can take notes, snap photos, create to-do lists, scan business cards, record voice reminders--and it makes everything searchable, whether you are at home or at work.

2.   Skitch

 

See something that sparks an idea? Use Skitch to snap it, mark it up with simple tools, and send it on in an instant. People use Skitch to help them visually share their thoughts with others.

 

 

3.   Penultimate

 

The most natural digital handwriting experience on iPad, Penultimate gives you the convenience and feel of writing on paper with the added power and availability of Evernote.

 

 

4.   Wunderlist

 

Wunderlist is the easiest way to manage and share your daily to-do lists. Whether you’re running your own business, planning an overseas adventure or sharing a shopping list. Great for the local shopping trip.

 

 

5.   Dropbox

 

Dropbox lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Access any file you save to your Dropbox from all your computers, iPhone, iPad, and the web.I use this to share my MP3's of the Scoff & Quaff shows.

 

 

6.   Feedly

 

Feedly is a new way to browse and share the content of your favorite news sites, feeds, blogs and Youtube channels. Instead of having to hunt down for news, feedly uses RSS to aggregate the contents of the news sites and blogs you like

 

 

7.   1Password

 

1Password creates strong, unique passwords for every site, remembers them all for you, and logs you in with a single tap. It’s the best way to stay secure and the fastest way to use the web. Everything in your 1Password vault is protected by a Master Password.
