Useful mobile apps

With thousands of mobile apps on the market it may be difficult to decide which apps to install on your smartphone to personalise your mobile experience. Below are a few mobile apps that we find useful.

Evernote
Think of Evernote as the ‘moleskine diary 2.0.’ In short, the app allows you to make notes wherever you go. Just had a great idea? Write a text message and save it in Evernote. Saw an interesting billboard? Take a photo and save it in Evernote. You can even keep track of your expenses by capturing your invoices in Evernote. This app really allows you to “remember everything.” Visit Evernote.com for more information or to download the app.

Trapster
Trapster uses your phone’s GPS capabilities to alert you whenever you approach speed traps, police checkpoints and so forth. The app relies heavy on its users’ contributions to make a success of the app and it seems to have a strong following in South Africa. Visit Trapster.com for more information, it’s worth checking out.

Gravity
Gravity is, in my opinion, the ultimate Twitter app for Symbian-powered smartphones. I have mentioned this app in a previous post but it deserves another mention. This is a paid-for app but well worth the money. If you tweet on the go this app is perfect as it allows you to easily schedule tweets, draft tweets, respond to @ replies and DM’s.

Google Goggles
Google Goggles is a visual search app for Android phones. It allows users to search using an image taken with your mobile phone. Don’t know a logo? Take a photo and submit it to Google Goggles and by using a number of image recognition back ends Google Goggles return relevant results. Pretty cool! >
