Apps are simply awesome and are good business, communication and learning tools.

Older folks often say, they don’t make them like they used to. They must be talking about mobile technology devices. Gone are the days, when you had to pull an antenna 3 feet in the air to make a phone call. Today you simply touch, swipe and your call is connected in seconds. We live in a dynamic era and are constantly on the go. We eat, conduct business and even sleep on the go. To efficiently manage the rigors of life, we rely heavily on mobile devices and their apps to turn complicated and time consuming tasks into fun and easy to do pleasures.

Mobile apps plays a huge part in making the mobile tech industry a multibillion dollar one, only rivaled by the pornographic industry. These apps have transformed mobile devices. Once upon a time, I was amazed, when I could use my cell phone as a calculator, now I can use it to trade on the stock market. Apps are simply awesome and are usually good business,communication and learning tools. As I scroll through my phone, I see so many wonderful apps.

Telegram is one. It is great for the social minded and business savvy individuals. This messaging app allows you to send text, photos, videos and files up to 1.5GB in size with speedy and secure delivery. Telegram is cloud based, hence your messages are synced on all your mobile devices – phones, tablets and even computers. The app works on all mobile platforms – Windows, IOS and Android, and according to the developers, it will be free forever!

If you are not the Kardashians of this world, and don’t fancy social apps, but prefer keeping your thoughts to yourself, I suggest that you try Bamboo Paper. Bamboo Paper helps you capture your thoughts and ideas. Taking notes, sketching and drawing, it is straightforward and simple. It is free and works on all mobile platforms. You will fall in love after a few uses.

Scrolling on through my phone, I notice Shazam. Have you ever been out, heard a song, and wish you knew who was singing and had it in your collection? With Shazam that problem is no more. This app allows you to touch the screen of your smart device, and in seconds, the app detects and displays the song’s details such as title, artiste, album, YouTube link and cost to purchase. I love it! It helps me build my music collection, it’s free and works on all smart devices.
