December 8, 2010 – Work & Play Apps
As the holiday season is rolling along, please share with your team these killer apps for both work and play…and everything in between!
Everything in Between – Productivity Apps
- Fill’er Up – If you are like me, the fuel monitor on your car is really just a decoration. So when that flashing red gas light goes off, I seriously need to find a gas station! One click of this app tells you your location (via cell tower), the location of the nearest gas stations, and directions/map of how to get there.
- Find My ATM – Because that $2.50 charge per withdrawal at a foreign ATM is annoying…
- Find My Bru – There is a Starbucks at every corner, unless you are actually looking for one. In that case, all the Starbucks have conveniently disappeared off the face of the earth…but somehow you managed to find 7 Tim Hortons. This app will help you find both Starbucks and Tim Hortons.
- Park n’ Find – You can pinpoint your location and snap a picture to remind yourself of where you parked.
