What smartphone apps can't you live without?

I have the Pantone App on my iPhone... I use that every once in a while, but I could certainly live without it.

Don't have very many business related apps other than Contacts, Calendar, and Email.



You can use THIS to generate your own QR Codes for contact information.

That is pretty cool. Thanks for the link. I think I may start offering it to my clients for an additional fee.

I have an iphone, but I think at least the first 2 below are available for BB and Android.

Evernote:
remote storage and indexing of notes etc. that I make on the phone or computer. Here's what's coolest:Let's say I paint something on a jobsite. I snap a picture of the paint can--it's tagged by location so I can see notes/pics from a given jobsite later. Also, the pic is sent to a remote server which also does OCR (text recognition) on anything it can. So a month later, I can look up, let's say "Moore" and see the picture of the Benjamin Moore paint can.

If you snap pics of signs, even t-shirts, you can look 'em up without having to manually enter keywords or anything. It even works on business cards--I type "Shondra", for example, and I immediately get my pic of her AT&T business card. Useful free version, much better paid version.

Reqall:
I press a button and say "dinner with Melanie on thursday at 7 pm" and a few minutes later the appointment's been added to my calendar and I get reminders however long before the appt. that I specify. Also location aware, it reminds me if I'm near Menards that I said I needed lightbulbs from there. Really cool. Useful free, cheap and better paid version.

Craigspro:
gives you better access to Craigslist than the site itself. You see photos without having to click through to the posting. Plus much more.

Lastly, every smartphone should grab a calculator that does fractions for us Yanks (on of only two countries in the world that hasn't switched to metric, I believe). I use Fractulator.

I just checked, and I didn't see one. But I did forget to put DUB in the list, which I use to text or email a business card.

And Bump, got to have bump.

iPhone Apps

I use "My Measures" app, almost daily, for measuring on the job site. Take a picture of the job and measure, then place the dimensions and text right on the picture. Import to Illy and size the picture to the artboard and Bob's your uncle/Aunt. Many other features, folders, sharing, export. For me, no more crppy drawings on lost shreds of paper.
