Tasker

 

Clients, colleagues, family – these are but a small proportion of the people likely to call, message or e-mail you throughout the day. Naturally then, it can be difficult to keep in touch with everyone – particularly if you’re stuck in a meeting. With Tasker you can create automated message responses for those trying to contact you, so you need never feel guilty for not answering the phone again.

 

Expensify

 

On top of the stresses of day-to-day business dealings, the last thing on your mind is likely to be remembering that receipt from lunch. That’s right, keeping tabs on expenses can prove a real nuisance. Not so with Expensify. At the touch of a button, this nifty app lets you record corporate expenditure directly onto your smartphone; meaning no more receipts and no more telling-offs from HR.

You’ve reached the conference ahead of schedule and are poised to network with fellow delegates and prospective clients. But wait – where are your business cards? You’ve forgotten them? Not to worry. With Chirp, you can swap contact information with business peers simply and easily without worrying about the security of your data.

Business folk whose day-to-day work traverses both home and office will love the Splashtop Remote Desktop app. Allowing unlimited access to your office or home computer via your phone or tablet – regardless of where you are – the app is ideal for those who are rarely in one place at a time.

Navigating to a new city was the first challenge; the next is finding somewhere to park. If time is getting on and you’re struggling to find a space, pullover and reach for the Best Parking app. Owing to in-built GPS, the app will find available parking in a jiff. Plus, it’ll even tell you how it costs to park there – pretty handy, right?
