The best free productivity apps for mobile devices in 2017
(21 TO 25)
21. Gmail
Gmail is one of the most popular and
advanced webmail services out there, and the mobile apps are great. Whether
linked up to a Gmail account or a business one, you benefit from an easy-to-use
app with loads of features. You can use up to five accounts at the same time,
get search predictions, read emails with threaded conversations, respond to
Google Calendar invites within the app, and send attachments.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
22. LastPass
Nowadays, with
increased cybersecurity risks, it’s crucial that you use strong passwords for
your personal and business accounts. But it can be a challenge creating and
keeping track of multiple different passwords, particularly if they’re
convoluted and obscure affairs (i.e. strong). LastPass generates
secure passwords suitable for business uses and stores them at the same time,
all within one app. It also boasts browser functionality, letting you fill in
forms and login details automatically without having to go through a separate
service like those provided in Safari or Chrome.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
23. Uber
If you work in a
big city and don’t have access to your own car, you no doubt use the bus, tube,
or hire a taxi. But Uber will help you save time and money. The app allows
you to organise an affordable ride within a few minutes, without having to make
reservations or wait in a taxi line. Uber is already available in dozens of UK
and US cities.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
24. Genius Scan
Genius
Scan offers a
handy facility that lets you create quality PDF documents by taking a photo.
Free to download and use, you can generate your own PDFs through your phone’s
camera. There are a plethora of options and settings to help you get the best results,
including lighting and camera position. You can send your creations via SMS,
email or a messaging app, and export them to services like Google Drive,
Dropbox or Evernote.
Platforms: Android and iOS
Price: Free
25. Duolingo
If you’re working
in an international role and are constantly traveling, then you likely come
into contact with a load of different languages. Duolingo will help
you learn them, which should hopefully impress your overseas contacts. Taking a
flashcard approach, it covers languages like Spanish, French, German,
Portuguese, Italian, Irish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish and English. And you can do
all this for free.
