Leave a comment
It’s always nice to see a feature-rich app, but when an app offers way too many unrelated features, people seldom like it. A successful app strikes a fine balance between being full of useful features while maintaining an acceptable level of understandability. You might be tempted to think that InFocus Pro tries to do too much, but all the features it offers are interconnected in one way or the other. Basically, InFocus Pro is a project management app incorporating task lists, notes, sketches and calendar appointments for each project. There might be other apps available for iOS that do the same things, but InFocus has the advantage of accepting handwritten entries for almost any field. It is also possible to make the app read your notes and lists out loud. Read More

The good thing about such apps is the way they usually offer cross-platform syncing, therefore making something even as simple as a text editor way more useful than other applications of its kind. We covered WorkFlowy a few months back, highlighting its features as a note-taking and task management utility offering comprehensive bulleting. The service is pretty useful as a web app, but imagine the possibilities if you have access to such a powerful to-do list manager on the go. That’s exactly what the new iOS app for WorkFlowy intends to do. The iPhone app is quite similar to the web one, and pakcs all the simplicity and efficiency that you require from a good note-taking app. You can search through your notes using the app’s universal search feature, and sync all your notes and to-do lists with your account, making everything available across all your devices.

The alarm clock functionality in Windows Phone 7 is enough to get the job done on most occasions, but it is very basic in its overall outlook, and does not have any extra features included either. You can use any feature phone to wake you up on time as well, so shouldn’t there be something extra in a smartphone’s alarm clock? If you agree with this, then you are sure to love 627.AM. It is a WP7 app that adds a lot of spice and usefulness to the concept of having an alarm clock on your Mango phone. 627.AM doesn’t just wake you up; it helps you get your day started properly. Most people take a look at the weather forecast soon after waking up, and with this handy little app, you will be presented with the temperature stats with each alarm, so that you don’t have to go to a separate app just to gauge the weather. Not only that, you can also create small to-do lists and pin them to the app’s main screen. This way, you can always be aware of your schedule for the day. Read More

While working on computer, it is not unusual to forget about something you had to do. It often happens that while working on a document, we get brilliant ideas to add to it, but can't recall them later.
