5 Smartphone Apps to Make Your Life Easier!

Take a trip down memory lane, go back to the late 90's or early 2000's when the cell phone was still in its infancy. Although I wasn't old enough to own a pager, I am sure everyone thought the early cell phone was the greatest invention since egg salad sandwich. Luckily, the cell phone has come a long ways from its early designs and now we are blessed with smartphones. 

Zack Morris, clearly had the greatest cell phone of all time. 

The smartphone is great for so many 

things: Facebook, Twitter, Words With Friends, Angry Birds, and using Google to settle arguments with friends. 

The smartphone also offers apps that can make your life easier. Here is a list of a few apps that we believe will help reduce the stress in your life so you have more time to watch cat videos on YouTube. 

Clear

Do you have a lot to do? Do you like to make lists? If so, this is the perfect app for you. Clear, allows for you to sort thoughts into different groups. So if you have a long to-do list in the afternoon or you're just trying to remind yourself of a brilliant idea you have, this is the perfect app for you.

Instapaper

Picture this: You're sitting in the waiting room at the dentist and you're browsing the internet. You find an article that peaks your interest and just as you begin to read they call you in for your appointment. No need to worry about losing this article with Instapaper, you can easily save this web page for reading at a later time. 

RedLaser

The perfect app for someone who is busy and someone who shops smart. RedLaser is an app that allows for you to scan the bar-code or an item and it will give you the prices of that same exact item at nearby stores. 

Shazam

My wife is known for loving a song but not know who or what the song title is. Luckily for her, I introduced her to Shazam, which is an app that helps you identify a song in as little as a second. It also gives you the opportunity to preview or buy tracks. 

Seamless

The future of ordering take-out is here. Seamless provides you with the opportunity to place your order from over 12,000 different restaurants and delivered to your doorstep. It provides you with ordering memory, so that you can place a duplicate order for the office should you want to order the same thing weeks later. 

In the End

Hopefully you will find all of these apps or even just one of them as a useful tool in your day to day life. The smartphone is a great tool to help make life easier and we believe that all of these apps can help you do just that.
