Life is beautiful. Even more beautiful with wonderful Apps that made your day. Here are my Top 5 Favourite Apps that I swear by:
The year is coming to the end. Have you achieve your resolution set at the start of the year? Well, for me it has been a yearly resolution to eat better, lose some weight and exercise. This Apps is brilliant to help me record my meals within my targeted calories and record my exercises. When you first start, the Apps will ask you to insert your goals i.e your targeted weight, your activity level. It will then calculate for you what is your daily calories target and by when you will achieve your targeted weight. Then, you will need to start to record your meals and activities daily. It helps you to count the calories for each meal item and display the remaining calories for the the day. What's great is the food database is large which includes Malaysian food. If it is not listed, you can create the food item and add in to their database. What's even greater is that you can use the bar code scanner tool to add in your food into the database. Awesome!
2. CamScanner
On a typical busy day, you are running around town hopping from one meeting to another, whilst your Inbox is filled with emails and requests from clients and colleagues that requires your attention. What do you do when there are documents that are needed to be scanned urgently and send over to people and yet you are still out and about? This Apps is your mobile 'scanner' where you will just have to take a picture of your document and it will convert to a pdf document instantly. You can crop your photo and save it in your Gallery or File for you to attach to your emails. Brilliant isn't it?
3. Livestream
I love to attend talks and seminars. However, there are times that I am not able to attend due to my work, location or because I'm too tired to drive all the way across town, after what seems to be an already long day. This Apps allows us to 'attend' the talks virtually via an excellent live video streaming from your mobile devices. Even if you still missed the live airing time, you can select the recorded session from their archives library and catch up at your own convenience. You are able to watch talks from various industries from all around the world in the comfort of your own home lying on your bed, or anywhere of your fancy. Besides, you can also host a birthday party and ensure your loved ones who are abroad are there virtually to celebrate together. The visual and sound are excellent even if the talk is from a host from a faraway land like New York or Japan or anywhere else as long as there's a good Internet connection.
4. Evernote
This is my daily essential. I note my shopping list, recipes, articles, reminders using this easy-to-use Apps. You can create checklists, drag and drop files and annotate images from your smart phone or laptop. The information will be synchronised when you open the Apps on any of your devices. You can create different Notebooks for different category such as My Studies, Work, Recipes, Shopping List or My Travel notebooks. My favourite feature is you are able to 'Add to Evernote' of your favourite articles instantly when you're surfing the Net on your browser.
5. Waze
A few years back, I was contemplating to purchase a GPS device for my car. It was priced at RM800-1200 and I was saving my money for it. Before long, the smart phone arrived, and one of my firsts downloaded Apps was Waze. It saved me hours from traffic jams and showed me alternative routes that I have never used before. An important feature is that you are able to send your location to your friend and it makes our lives much easier! I love to use Waze to see the traffic around me before I start my journey, even my trip is just to the nearby groceries store ;).
