SMARTPHONE APPS – PRODUCTIVITY APPS TO HELP YOU MOVE

Posted by Patrick Lundgren on Tue, Aug 16, 2011 @ 01:58 PM

I just recently read that 97% of the population owns a smart phone.  97 percent!  I also read that 65% of all statistics are made up.  Ok fine, I just made both of those numbers up, but I think you catch my drift.  A fair amount of the population own really versatile, intelligent phones, and the number of people who do is only going to increase.  It is amazing how far they have come in such a short period of time, it seems like it was only yesterday that I used to watch Zach Morris on Saved By The Bell carry around that brick with an antenna on it!  I just dated myself didn’t I?  Yes, yes I did.

With the advent of such technology, it is easier and easier to operate your day-to-day life from one single device.  Here are some really productive apps that are available for all major platforms that can aid you not only during your relocation, but in everyday life as well.

 

CALL RECORDING APPS. (Android) (iPhone)

 Lets say you are on the road, or at the grocery store, or chasing your kids around the house while they chase each other while wielding sharp, dangerous objects, you don’t have the time to search for a pen and paper to jot down important information.  With one click during your call, you can choose to record the conversation (silently, which especially useful if you want to use the conversation as ammunition against your significant other) to be replayed at your leisure at a later time.

FLIGHT STATUS APP (Android) (iPhone)

 This app is really versatile, it is a flight-tracking app for all flights worldwide. Check flight delays, view arrival and departure times, terminal and gate numbers, baggage claim information, and much more. App also features zoom-map styles. Check and track flights by flight number or by route.  You will never have to search for a single airline’s phone number ever again, nor will you have to visit their individual websites.  This app is a one-stop shop for all your flight data.

 

TO-DO LIST ORGANIZER APP (Android) (iPhone)

 Your significant other tells you to pick up bread, and drop off the kids.  Or was it drop off the bread and pick up the kids?  Wait, that doesn’t make any sense…  Life can get pretty hectic sometimes, especially when you are in the middle of picking up your life from one place and moving it to another.  The list of things to do can seem daunting and never-ending, almost to the point where you start to wonder, is it all worth it?  What is my purpose here on Earth?  Ok, um, I am getting side-tracked; I’ll save that for another blog.  Back to the tasks!  This handy app allows you sort, prioritize, and accomplish your tasks with ease.

 

Memo Recorder (Android) (iPhone)

 If you’re driving or are in bed and don’t have access to a pen and paper when you think of a great idea, or a cheesy poem, or a great strategy you have for work, or your fantasy football draft, allow your phone to be your Dictaphone.  With the click of a button, you can record your own voice for however long you want, your only limit being the amount of storage on your phone.  You can now finally hear your own melodious shower-singing and see just how ridiculous everyone’s complaints are about your voice.  Shower singers rejoice! (in song form)
