With the increased popularity of smartphones, apps have become an essential tool to have, because they serve different functions. When it comes to people in the business world, there are a lot of apps that are designed to help make things a little easier, and more efficient. If you are looking for business apps that you should have on your smartphone, I have compiled a list of the five best business apps.
5. Dropbox
This is one of the most popular cloud storage organizations out there, the app allows you to automatically sync your files as you edit them, and it also provides you with 2GB of free storage. Dropbox also provides users with a chance to get an additional 3GB of free storage, if they sync videos and photos with Dropbox. There are other ways to get additional free space by referring other people. Dropbox also provides pro accounts for those in need of bigger storage, and the prices for the Pro accounts range from $8.25 to $41.60 per month. The app is available for download on iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, and Blackberry.
4. TripIt
TripIt travel organizer is an app that you should have, especially if you work in a business that requires you to travel a lot. The app makes it easier for you to organize your travel itinerary, and can recognize reservations from more than 3,000 booking sites. Having this app will help you avoid missing a flight, which is a big deal for people who travel a lot.
3. Cisco WebEx Meetings
This is an app that allows you to have meetings anywhere you are, which is great for web conferences. There are quite a few apps that allow you to video conference, but WebEx allows you to attach files, which is great if you want to discuss some reports during the video conference, or if you want to make a presentation. The free version of the app allows you to video conference with up to three people, if you want more people and features, you can find the right one for you, because they have different tiers available for purchase.
2. Square Register
This is a great app that allows you to accept credit card payments, using a free card reader and POS tools. The company takes a standard 2.75% cut for every credit card transaction, but there are no hidden fees, and the money received is deposited into your account in 1-2 business days.
1. Office Mobile
Unlike most of the apps on this list, this isn’t a free app. Despite being a little pricey, this app is the one business app to have, because most people use Microsoft Office, and this allows you to edit your work or start working on a project on your smartphone, and be able to continue working on it from your desktop, and not have to worry about formatting your documents.
