INFO ZONE
Social Media Apps
Yes, WhatsApp! Organizations are increasingly using the group feature to organize teams, keep track and share information, especially on special projects. It's fast, a bit informal and encrypted. So if you have virtual teams and email doesn't cut it for you, WhatsApp is the best thing to reduce time lags and get information flowing.
Pocket
Pocket is nice for saving content for consumption later. This beautiful app helps you organize online content you like, saving them for later use whether for research, reference, leisure or just plain reading.
Google Maps
Having this app on your phone can't be overemphasised. It's one of those apps that help you manage your time especially in a traffic-prone territory like Lagos. Google Maps does not only give directions, it will indicate roads where you'll experience traffic congestion and also offers faster or alternative routes.
Schedulers and Reminders
These are apps that help you plan in a more detailed way. They're also great for goal setting and keeping track of what needs to be done and when. Apps like TimeTune and Any.do helps you keep track and not derail, you can even measure what gets done to improve your efficiency and free up time.
Cloud Storage Apps
If you've ever had your computer crash, your phone stolen or your flash drive forgotten at home then you will definitely love cloud storage apps such as, OneDrive, GoogleDrive and Dropbox to name a few. The hassle of looking for and accessing the right document when needed will not only stress you out but also eats into productive time. What's more, cloud storage apps are synced across devices.
Google News & Weather
Information is power. This app syndicates news across platforms for easy access in one place. It is also customizable so you get more of the news you want and less of those you do not want. Business, Africa, World and Sports are some the categories found on Google news. The app also gives you suggestions on what you might be interested in based on your likes. This saves you time shuttling between various news sites to get your news in one place.
