9 Apps That Are Perfect For Anybody Whose Life Revolves Around Their Phone
In the digital age, one thing is for certain: using your own personal brain power, or even old school techniques for getting tasks done is absolutely obsolete. In fact, there are five screens that have inundated our lives at this point. There's no looking back from technology–we're living in the future.
So, instead of rejecting the idea of technology, how can we further dive into the abyss of brain to electronics synchronicity? Downloading more apps, of course!
Available on both iOS and Android is your one-stop shop for cataloging the things inside your house in case of an unrecoverable accident. Just take photos of your home and store them in a nifty little app on your phone, which you'll most likely drop and shatter or spill something on. Can you take a photo of your phone for this insurance app? Hope so!
2. Handy
Available on both iOS and Android, Handy is the definitive way to book someone to come into your home and being handy, since you just leave things broken. No need to learn how to do something as simply as vacuum your rug or even hang a bookshelf, or even look up the proper business to do these things for you: Handy has got all that covered in one easily navigated smartphone app.
3. Outlook
Available on both iOS and Android, Outlook from Microsoft is the mobile version of the company's desktop email server. It's for all the cavemen who aren't on Gmail, yet.
4. Out Of Milk
Available on both iOS and Android, Out Of Milk is the perfect way to create a running shopping list when you can't remember what you wanted to buy from the store. Forget pen and paper, and forget even looking in the fridge before you leave for the store, and instead just rely on the memory of an app to tell you what to buy from the store. Genius!
Available on both iOS and Android, Google Wallet is the next great app that simply wants you to enter your credit card information into the information super highway and trust that the system won't be hacked, so you could lose everything. It's convenient for sending money to friends when settling up a dinner check or cab fare. Priceless!
6. Open Table
Available on both iOS and Android, Open Table is the most convenient way to make a reservation at a restaurant. Forget calling and talking with a human. That's a thing of the past.

Available on both iOS and Android, Level Money just wants you to connect your bank account to the app and then it will help you start budgeting yourself.

8. Koko
Currently only available on iOS, Koko is an app when you can go to relieve your stress by anonymously posting your worries and anxieties. It's much more sane to do this than seek medical attention from a psychiatrist. Just let another anonymous person tell you that everything is going to be fine, and surely it will be.
9. Evernote Scannable
Currently only available on iOS, Evernote Scannable is the best way to take a physical copy of something that's been given to you, let's just say a business card, and instead make it digital! Paper sucks, and technology is in. Also, once the business card has been uploaded, the app tracks the person down and gives you all their LinkedIn information. Nothing is off limits anymore, and it's because technology rocks.
