Essential Smart Phone & Tablet Apps

Post by D3PART3D »

So, Mailbox has updated with easy Dropbox attachments :D

Another two simply awesome apps for iOS:

Drafts - text input now, decide what to do with it later. Save to Evernote, send as SMS, Tweet, parse with Fantastical and more. It's as simple as thought.

Bit Timer - a minimalist interval training timer with a cool UI. Only works in increments of 5 seconds but I doubt that would be an issue.


In other news, Day One ( a sort of journal app?) and Over ( text overlay app for photos) are part of the selection of free apps available for the App Store's 5th birthday. I've yet to use either, but they seem to be very popular.

Finally a reason for me to consider this app. It's still only for Gmail, right?

Another one that I find useful is CamCard. Basically you can take a photo of a business card and an entry is created in your contacts.

It would be nice if it would support Outlook.com accounts. Hopefully that's still to come.

$3 on iOS. Does it actually work?
