Mobile Apps. Love them or hate them, they help us get through the day. Some apps actually help us keep up with our tasks for the day. However, new apps appear on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store almost every other day. So, how do apps stand out? We saved you the trouble of downloading and checking it out for yourself and compiled a list of some of the best Android apps to look forward to in 2018.
Trello works both on your mobile device and desktop. It allows you to plan and organize your tasks. You can colour code your tasks by priority and allow Trello to sync with your calendar. That way, if you don’t have access to the app, you can still view your tasks on your calendar.
Pocket allows you to save things you want to view later. Like Trello, you can use Pocket on both your mobile device and desktop. Pocket allows you to save links from other platforms such as Twitter and Flipboard and to name a few. Pocket premium is ad-free and is priced at RM20 monthly or RM32 annually.
