MOBILE APPS THAT I USE

2/8/2013

 
Apps as Tools
This is a listing of the Apps that I use continually and that you might find useful.

All of these are found in the Apple App Store. Most are free. Many of these apps are offered free periodically through an app called AppsGoneFree! 

If you have any comments enter them below and I will get back to you.

These apps make it easy to work wherever the mood takes you.

Photo-related:
  • Genius Scan - turns your iPad or iPhone into a scanner, allows you to square up an image like a foreshortened elevation!
  • RL Classic - QR code scanner and creator
  • Color Splash - turns a photo into black and white and then lets you recover just the color you want for a special effect
  • Photos Slice HD - slices up a photo for special effects, adds FX
  • Photosynth - take a series of photos that are stitched together where they overlap
  • Nostaglio - assembles selected photos into your choice of grid
  • PicShop - the name similarity to PhotoShop by Adobe is no accident, very similar capabilities
  • TitleFX - adds your choice of text in a variety of fonts, colors and sizes
  • Pointillist - converts a photo into a pointillist version 
  • StillShot - lets you select individual frames from a video
  • PhotoStation - crops any shape out of a photo
  • PhotoInWord - select a background, create text, add photo; the text acts like a window onto the photo
  • My Measures PRO - add dimensions to a photo [see recent description]
Math-related:
  • Scalar calculator -  calculator entries are listed on a document that you can annotate and save
  • Numbers - Apple's spreadsheet app designed to give you great looking results
Writing-related: 
  • IA Writer - a text word processor that helps you focus on just your writing; format later
  • Evernote - cloud database for holding everything and tagging it so you can find it again in the future; the uses are endless
  • Penultimate - create notebooks and write in them with your finger; import photos for commenting, take notes in a meeting, brainstorm, export as PDF for storage or distribution, now synchs with Evernote
  • Pages - Apple's word processor designed to give you great looking results
Planning-related:
  • BugMe! - mimics sticky notes and adds an alarm; great for all the things you use sticky notes for
  • lino - electronic tack board for posting up notes, photos, etc.; great for documenting the pieces of a problem and arranging them into a solution
Project Management-related:
  • Nozbe and Basecamp - see my comparison; both are great project management tools
  • Personal Basecamp - new version of Basecamp for a single project for a single payment of $25
  • AutoCAD WS - view, edit and annotate AutoCAD drawing files
Reference (storage): 
  • Dropbox - cloud file storage accessible from anywhere
  • Evernote - cloud database for holding everything and tagging it so you can find it again in the future; the uses are endless (listed twice)
  • Google Drive - used to be Google Documents, improved
Social Media:
  • Twitter - great way to find the day's stories on the topics you care about
  • LinkedIn -  business connections
  • Google+ - the new Facebook
Online Management:
  • Weebly - a view into websites created with Weebly like this one
  • Hootsuite - social media manager that can view, post, analyze
  • Fishead Analytics - an app for viewing Google Analytics
Freehand Drawing:
  • Paper - very nice freehand drawing app 
  • Sketch Time - similar to Paper but with more of a graphic art feel
Miscellaneous:
  • World Clock - for when you want to know the time in Mumbai or Vilnius
  • Grid - a spreadsheet app (in Beta) for all kinds of information
  • Mercury and Chrome - additional browsers
  • Epson iPrint - this app is your wireless connection to your printer-scanner-copier; a joy to use (HP take note)
