Favorite iPhone/iPad Apps

Recently ordered an iPad and am looking for some new useful apps to load up on it. Anyone have iPad/iPhone app recommendations? Android users can chime in too as there's probably the same or similar apps on iOS.

Here's a few of my favorites that I already use:

Productivity
Evernote - Cross platform note-taking. Syncs between all your devices.
Dropbox - Cloud storage
Box - Cloud storage
Key Ring - Stores loyalty card info/barcodes
Purchases - Checkable shopping list creator

Music
Pandora - Streaming radio
8tracks - Good collection of pre-made playlists

Nutrition/Fitness
Fitness Buddy - Workout tracker. Can track your lifting stats as well as weight and other body metrics.
MyFitnessPal - Calorie and food tracker - can break down your daily diet by several different metrics (protein,carbs,fats, etc) and can compare against custom goals.

Finance
Mint - Pulls all you financial info into one place (bank accts, credit cards, brokerages,etc). Read-only access, you can't make any changes from Mint.
Bloomberg

Misc
Kindle - Amazon's Reading Platform
Yelp - User-based reviews

 

Facebook Instagram (different friends on there with some amazing pictures) Facebook Camera - don't get it and looks funny Facebook Messenger - no text plan required any longer! save loads of $$$ Facebook Pages - useless for me LinkedIn - a given in our industry Myfitnesspal - great app as you have stated Lose It! similar to above Handelsblatt - one of the papers in DE Apple Store app - look at new cool gadgets to buy BBC News Bloomberg Reuters goldrush rally - tracking/viewing app for the rally PayPal - to pay in some stores via mobile (in aisle shopping, ie in Sweden) BMW M Meter - cool g-meter for drifting/driving BMW Parking Assistant - reminds of parking time/way/directions BMW Remote - remotely unlock/lock/setup your BMW (only works on newer models) Skype Foursquare Amazon twitter eBay Google Authenticator Starbucks (great loyalty/store app) thetrainline Autotrader Mobile (to sell/buy cars in UK) Autoscout CH (to sell/buy cars in Switzerland) Battery (battery conditioning app) Flipboard Opera Mini (pretty bad on iOS actually) cardflick (testing as of this week)

 

My iPad favorites:

Note Taker HD - best note-taking app, hands down. Better than Evernote. Coupled with a good stylus or even your finger can take the place of hand-writing notes on paper.

iAnnotate PDF - best PDF annotation, hands down.

Office to PDF - turns Word, PowerPoint, etc. into PDF on the go. Useful when you're using Dropbox and want to take notes on a document on one of the previously mentioned apps.

Pulse - nice for browsing news for fun

CamScanner - use camera to take quick PDF scans

Others I use include StumbleUpon, WSJ, TheWeatherChannel, Netflix, Spotify, Capital IQ, Flixster, and IMDB

 

TweetDeck - Great to organize your twitter feed for less overload Bloomberg Anywhere - Obvious Financial Times App - Preloads articles so you can read the whole paper even when you're on the subway Outside - A more detailed whether forecast app OpenTable - Book a table for your dates last minute

 

if you have a kindle account, you can get the financial times a lot cheaper if you buy it through Amazon. The FT auto loads the entire paper into your kindle reading app on your Ipad.

Fear is the greatest motivator. Motivation is what it takes to find profit.

Rdio - Great music app

Clash of Clans - excellent iPhone game.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Snapchat looks handy as it removes any trace of your convos/pics in the app...not too shabby at all.

Just use snap save or some shit like that, saves every snap you get and the other person won't know...
 

Caveat: I'm old and married but do things like Tinder and Snapchat actually work to pick up girls? I didn't even have a cell phone until I was 24 (because no one did) and texting didn't exist for years after that. A booty call meant going home to call on a landline and hoping she would pick up and not have the answering machine broadast your drunk ass voice to her roommates.

MotionX works well?

Download it and find out. All you need is a FB account. Get buzzed with the wife and be like, "Look what the guys at work put on my phone as a joke" or some shit.

But really, you installed it 3 days ago and rapid right swiped everyone within 100 miles as per Goldie SOPs, so you have a buildup of matches.

Wife will be subconsciously jelly of all the virile females finding you attractive and will give you special treats. we're talking rimjob territory

Things could evolve into a threesome. Things could evolve into routine threesomes.

Hinge > Tinder IMO. Also, get Spotify. $9.99 a month for unlimited music.

"Hinge lets you meet great new people through your friends."

That's a fucking terrible idea for a hookup app. At least for a shady degenerate like myself.

edit: Also, utorrent: $0 for unlimited everything

Snapchat, instagram, Pandora. All good ones.

Strava for cycling / garmin connect.

Snapseed for photoediting

Onedrive aka Skydrive - Because fuck giving google all of my files.

Radar app for weather

Google Keep for reminders / widget sticky notes

Kindle app for all my reading,

Whatsapp for texting my euro friends

Mint for tracking my cashflow,

 

I'll second that, you can sync it in your web browser too. I set up a different project folder for each deal I'm on and use that to keep a running list of what I need to do. Easy to re-prioritize, which is nice. And if you're like me, seeing data on your productivity is a good motivator.

 

Is Swype available on Iphone now? Now that is one app that can really increase your productivity. Personally I can often swype faster than I can type on a full size key board, especially for longer words.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.
 

"ReadQuick" it flashes the words on the screen and helps you read articles faster. It does not teach you how to speed read.

Sleep Cycle - One of my favorite apps. Wakes you up when you are at the lightest point in your sleep cycle, which means you get up feeling pretty good. The first day I used this was worth the dollar alone.

RunKeeper - Nice workout tracker - you can set goals, plan a schedule, and it keeps a ton of data on your runs.

Evernote - Great one for keeping a lot of information handy at all times. You can sync the app, desktop, or web versions and keep anything from notes and voice memos to screenshots and photos in there. You sort of have to dive into it and use it a good amount to make it work well, but it's nice.

Downcast - I listen to podcasts going to and from the office. Easy to use and does a great job of managing them.

IFTTT - Little more geeky, but you can make "recipes" for repetitive tasks. "Download all the photos I'm tagged in on facebook to my dropbox," "If rain is forecasted tomorrow send me a notification," etc. Almost endless possibilities here.

 

If any of you guys have android - Screen time is a great app to help you limit the time you spend on bullshit apps like fb/reddit/etc. Sets a daily limit plus blackout times. Helpful for studying or being productive in general / getting to sleep on time.

 

Anyone with iPhone - I highly recommend the Errands app. Basically Calendar but usable - takes less than 10 seconds to create and folder-categorize an event. Caveat is that it only syncs between iPhone and iPad

OneNote also rocks. Beats the snot out of evernote IMO; there's tables (on PC) and whiteboard picture processor which works great

 

CamScanner. Take a pic of a document and turns it into a PDF for quick distribution. If you have an active .edu email addy they'll give you the premium version for free which means you won't have the annoying "Generated by CamScanner" on the bottom of the documents. Or, just pay.

 

The important stuff:

  • Todoist (to do lists, best one out there since it syncs to EVERYTHING instantaneously)
  • The full Google suite: Calendar / Drive / Gmail. Not Plus though, don't touch that crap.
  • Fitbit / MyFitnessPal / RunKeeper for logging food+exercise
  • Personal Capital (Mint for intellectuals :P)
  • a ton of other financial apps: Check (bill pay), Simple (my bank), Betterment (online wealth mgmt), Credit Karma (credit score monitoring)
  • Genius Scan (snap a photo, auto-enhances and stores as PDF that you can send/share/save wherever)
  • LinkedIn (for on-the-go schmoozing)

The frivolous stuff:

  • Kindle
  • Pocket (read it later app)
  • BaconReader (for Reddit)
  • Duolingo (language learning)
  • Amazon (for shopping on the go)
  • Liquor Cabinet (best app out there)
Currently: future neurologist, current psychotherapist Previously: investor relations (top consulting firm), M&A consulting (Big 4), M&A banking (MM)
 

so i got the new iphone to upgrade my blackberry curve and hate it. so much so that i am returning it and waiting for the bold. i just found that simple tasks (emailing texting making calls) require so many more steps and effort than on the blackberry. am i alone here?
