Phone/Ipad apps

What are some of the apps you're all using to assist you in this business? I have GPS in my Honda, but it is outdated. I result to using maps on my phone sometimes. Seems like more and more apps coming on the market all the time, some free, some not.

I use the google map app. I also sometimes get on mapquest and you can have the directions sent to your phone as a msg. When I am sitting printing docs I do this a lot.

Navigator (google) Free + Telenav.com ($10 a month) between the two of them, I can always find my way to my destination.

Evernote.com (it is THE BOMB...an electronic filing cabinet and more). Free & Premium (I posted about it on leisure.) It organizes all your bits of info, plans, goals, etc.

If you have an android phone you got the best navi right there, but If you have an iphone try the Waze in the apple store, I love it.

I like Evernote for everything.

the Fedex and UPS apps (easy access to drop locations as well as pickup times).

Square for GNW clients who say "oh, I forgot to bring my checkbook..." (Square is a low-cost credit card reader and app (per transaction fee only, no hardware. It's very, very easy to use). I do a lot of writing so I LOVE the AP Styleguide (it's big money for an app, but way cheaper than buying a new styleguide every year).

Kindle app for downtime in the car.

iTrip is the app which goes to a cable that connects my iphone to a transmitter that puts my podcasts or songs on my radio, again for car time.

I often eat on the run and have special dietary needs. (Celiac = Gluten Free) So I use the Yelp app to help me find places to eat.

I like the flashlight app...for those dark January nights when I've dropped something in someone's driveway and can't find it... (not even a joke)

The Paypal app because some of my SS clients like to pay instantly.

USAA (my auto insurance) because I can file a collission report in under 7 minutes with the app (Before the State Patrol even arrives!)

Jiffy Lube's app for maintenance reminders on the car, because I would never remember any other way.
