The best free productivity apps for mobile
devices in 2017 (1 to 5)
1. Join.me
There are a ton of
web conferencing and collaboration apps out there, but they aren't always
mobile-friendly. Enter Join.me, an online meeting tool that's easy to set up and can
be used from any device – there's a web version which means you don't have to
download anything if you don't want to. It provides free screen sharing and
unlimited videoconferencing. There's a handy whiteboard feature as well,
letting everyone contribute ideas virtually. The app is available on iPhone,
iPad and Android.
Platforms: Android
and iOS
Price: Free
2. Gyst
When you have so
many things to do and not enough time to play with, you can easily become
overwhelmed and fall behind. Gyst is the app that wants you to stay organised and get
more done. It consolidates texts, contacts, calendars and to-do lists into one
place. Because of this, you don't need to keep dipping into different apps and
it will help you stay on top of things. You can also use the software to
prioritise text messages, schedule meetings and communicate with your
colleagues.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
3. Doodle
Diary clashes are
annoying but pretty common in the business world. This is where Doodle comes into
the picture. It's an app that helps you streamline meetings and stay
productive. How does it work? You sign in, set up an event and suggest times to
your colleagues. They then choose the times that work for them, and the app
tries to find the best slot for everyone. What's great is that your colleagues
don't even need to be signed up to the app in order to participate.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
4. Trello
Trello is another
great app worth checking out if you have a busy life with your work or business
commitments. Aimed at helping you to get things done and stay organised, the
app lets you create boards for all the projects you're working on. You can work
on these individually or add colleagues so they're kept up-to-date with the
tasks they're undertaking. As well as this, you're able to add to-do lists on
boards, assign tasks, comment on items, upload files and videos, and attach
files. It's free to use, although you have the option to upgrade for added
functionality.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
5. Google Drive
You could spend a
good deal of cash on a package like Microsoft Office, or you could stick
with Google Drive and pay nothing. Drive offers you a full suite of word processing,
database and presentation applications. The great thing about them is that
they're cloud-based, so you can work on documents and files from any device –
be it a laptop, smartphone or tablet. Everything is saved as you left it, and
you have the option to view revisions.
Platforms: Android and iOS
