The arrival of smartphones and apps has literally turned our world inside out. Especially the world of mobile apps has been exploding and blooming to control most of what we do. Therefore, finding right apps to download or use can actually be tricky and tiresome. If you are searching for a good app for the iPhone, iPad or an Android devices, here is the list of a few highly rated ones.
For example, I don't find mini-office apps such as the eOffice Mobile Suite or Documents To Go productive at all. It's not that they don't work as advertised. They do. But I've never been successful thumbing my way through a Word doc or Excel analysis on a two-inch screen. In fact, the editor for this column asked me if I know of anyone who actually uses and/or likes these applications. I can honestly say no. (Go ahead: Prove me wrong in the comments below.) I've downloaded these programs and used them maybe once or twice over the past couple of years before giving up. Those docs can wait until I'm on a normal-sized machine.
IPhone OS and Android are the top two platforms that host Mobile Apps. But hey, don't forget Windows 8 as well. Having your mobile app available into these different markets opens you to a broader range of prospect and eventual clients. The use of these platforms is worldwide and opening your app to that market increases sales.
Google Sky Map: You can see stars with this app after you point it to the clear night sky. You can see planets and constellations if there are, using GPS, clock and accelerometer.
One word of caution though... Do NOT over use the Push Notification feature. This can be interpreted at SPAM, so please don't abuse it. Treat your new App Subscribers just like you would your email list and provide value first, then create the hunger and desire for your products and services and the sales will naturally follow.
Memo Gea: It helps users keep track of those things that they have to remember. Memo Gea can be utilized in business meetings or class lectures to make an audio recording or add text, pictures, and even web pages. This app would also come in handy when they want to note down their ideas. After launching it, users can start a new session by tapping Record New Session. Memo Geo has the ability to let users email documents straight from it. If the device is short on memory, users can adjust the quality settings to a slightly lower bitrate to free up the memory. I think the developers need to tweak the interface a bit more. Memo Gea is read more compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and requires iOS 5.0 or later. It costs USD 0.99.
