Stay on top of your work schedule with these apps
Check out the best Android workplace apps for
collaboration, time and task management, data sharing and more
Asana
$9.99 per member per month
(basic version is free)
Asana is an impressive task management tool for
teams, dwarfing other popular services. It is all about workflows and checkbox
tasks that can be assigned to individuals. The Android app lets you take your
tasks on the go and offline, syncing your progress when you are back on the
network. It’s a powerful tool with good interface, and new features are added
regularly.
Doodle
Free
The hardest part of scheduling a meeting is getting
everyone to agree. Ram is free Monday and Wednesday. Kushal is available
Monday, but not Tuesday. And the other dozen people have their own schedules to
contend with. Doodle lets you suggest times, and then see what works best for
everyone. It’s an invaluable planning tool.
Dropbox
Free
Dropbox pioneered the personal cloud service, where
all your stuff is available no matter what device you are using. On Android, it
holds its own — even against the highly integrated Google Drive. It can also
act as a seamless backup for your images, automatically uploading every photo
to the cloud. Dropbox even includes some light image editing tools. If you are
the type of person with lots of files already stored in Dropbox, this app is a
must-have.
Microsoft Office Lens
Free
Despite the fact that we are well into the 21st
century, we still can’t do without papers in offices. But Microsoft Office Lens
lets you turn physical documents into digital ones using your smartphone. It
can even capture doodles and notes from a whiteboard. If you want portable
document scanning, but aren’t keen on getting an Evernote account, this might
be the solution for you.
MyFax
$10.00
While fax machines might not be as visible as they
used to be, they continue to be a vital part of how companies and governments
do business. Enter MyFax, the service that lets you send and receive faxes
without the hassle of a fax machine or a dedicated phone line, straight from
your handset. You can also use this service to send and receive faxes from your
email client of choice.
Nine Email and Calendar
$14.99
Nine is a reliable email client designed to work with
all your accounts. The clean interface and the optional conversation view make
reading and replying to email intuitive. One of its best features is the
ability to customise the notification actions, including a useful ‘Mark as
read’ option. It isn’t cheap, but it’s only a one-time $14.99 charge for a
much-improved email experience that also integrates calendar, contacts, notes,
and tasks functionality.
Slack
Free
With a familiar, instant messenger feel, it is easy
to get started with Slack. But the service is popular because of its wealth of
advanced features, like customisable alerts and a ‘do not disturb’ function.
You can even host VoIP calls through Slack with your co-workers. A free account
will get you started, but a monthly fee unlocks even better search tools.
Install the Giphy plugin for maximum productivity.
