FAVORITE APPS& How You Can Use Them at Work

Remember the slogan Apple trademarked in 2010, “there’s an app for that”?

It’s more relevant now than ever. Android users have 2.2 million apps to choose from,

while Apple users have 2 million to choose from.

At iOFFICE, we love apps…we mean love them. Learn a little about the iOFFICE

team and our favorite apps. We’ve even come up with ways you can

use our favorite apps in your office.

If you’re anything like the iOFFICE team, you love food and drinks (you’ll see a La Croix and a cup of goldfish on 3 out of 4 desks). If you’re anything like Elizabeth,

your veins are pumped with your morning Starbucks. Try using the Starbucks app like she does - place your order when you leave the house, and your latte will be

sitting with your name on it ready for you at the store. Bonus: you’ll make it to that morning meeting on time or maybe even a few minutes early.

FOOD

®

Even though our headquarters is in Texas, we still don’t like the heat. For those days when it’s way too hot to step outside, Renee’s favorite app is Door Dash. They make it easy to order food from your favorite restaurants and deliver in a

snap. Try it on a busy day when you don’t have time to leave your desk, or when the weather outside doesn’t permit.

I love traffic! (said no one ever). Kevin hates traffic, but Waze helps shed some time off his morning and evening commute while staying sane. Waze will help you get to the office (or home) the quickest way possible, even alerting you of

stalled vehicles, cops, and wrecks.

PEACE OF MIND

®

James is like your big brother, and because he is like your big brother, the Vivint Smart Home App is his favorite. If you like to make sure everything is okay at

home while you’re gone, or if you miss your kids too much while you’re at work, peak into the house periodically throughout the day. OR you can install it at the

office to ensure everything’s okay even when you’re away.

PEACE OF MIND

Spotify tops the list in the office, too. Sammy likes to jam out to help stay focused and productive, or even encourage a little dance party in the office. He

says it’s good for company morale!

CREATIVITY

®

For when you want to be inspired (and crafty), check out Pita’s favorite, Pinterest. Have you seen all the Pins to help you get organized at the office,

customize your cubicle, or the countless office hacks?

CREATIVITY

You’d be lying if you said you’re never stressed while at work (even working from home). Terry loves to unwind a little by cranking open Yahoo Sports to check

out the latest updates on his favorite teams - Texans, anyone? Check in on your favorite sports team, or even your coworker’s favorite team… you have to make

sure you’re winning the office Survivor league.

ATHLETIC / SPORTS

®

We can’t forget about the dogs! The dogs of iOFFICE are obsessed with Map My Dog Walk, so everyone in the office knows exactly what each dog’s favorite path is. In the app, you can keep up with friends, which allows you to

see their favorite paths or discover new paths to try out.

ATHLETIC / SPORTS

You’ve heard of that syndrome where you always think your phone is going off, even though it isn’t? (phantom vibration syndrome, so you don’t have to Google

it - we’ve already Googled it plenty). You should try out Graham’s favorite, Mightytext. It’s a text to computer app that allows you to read and respond to texts without having to touch your phone; you can even see all general phone notifications. He promises you won’t develop anxiety from not touching your

phone (he hopes).

PRODUCTIVITY

®

Have trouble concentrating throughout the day? What about remembering things? Rebecca suggests Brain Wave, which allows you to signal your brain to hop on certain waves (there’s 32 options to be exact). The app helps strengthen

your brain by inducing frequencies associated with specific brainwaves and states of mind. Her favorite is concentration.

Elf Yourself has been a Christmas classic for years… but Tiffany loves placing herself into quirky videos year round with Jib Jab. If you have a sense of humor like Tiffany, this app allows you to crop your face into a variety of short clips. Try

inserting your FM team’s faces for a company Christmas card.

PHOTOS / VIDEO

®

If you want to really wow your viewers (especially those Millennials) with your images, try Katherine’s favorite, VSCO (because the cool Millennials don’t use

Instagram filters anymore). VSCO has a variety of free filters (plus filters for purchase); you can even look at other users’ portfolios for examples.

You have to stay organized at work. While Apple’s calendar feature is fine, our CTO, Kenton, prefers Fantastical. He says it’s a much better replacement for the standard calendar, and it even allows you to schedule with co-workers.

Fantastical allows you to seamlessly add events to your calendar using natural language. The app will even recognize the location of the event and allow you

to quickly view it on a map.

ORGANIZATION

®

It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole, also known as your email inbox when you should be doing something much more productive. Cameron suggests the app called Inbox, Google’s newest client for Gmail. It’s great for sorting, snoozing, and dismissing emails to come back to. You could try the tool to snooze those

50% off offers for when you really deserve to treat yourself.

ORGANIZATION

®

Our software developers need constant and seamless communication with each other to make sure everything’s running smoothly at all times. Robyn prefers the

Slack app because it has all the same perks of Slack on your desktop - it’s an easy to use messaging app to keep up with your team and up to date

on projects.

COMMUNICATION

®

One of our other developers, Victor, loves Facebook Messenger for the design and endless features. He uses it to keep up with relatives and friends who live

out of the country.

COMMUNICATION

Keeping track of who you owe money to for picking up lunch can be difficult. Kaitlan swears by Venmo. It allows you to connect your bank account and easily

transfer money between contacts, so you can quickly pay that person who so kindly ran out to get you lunch.

MONETARY

®

Work can be stressful for the controller of a growing SaaS Workplace Management tool. But Tom doesn’t sweat it... he uses the Chase banking app to

keep up to date on every payment and transaction that occurs.
