Five Apps to Boost Your Productivity

Mobile devices have taken center stage since the battle of iOS and Android began. With a plethora of applications from both app stores offering a multitude of ways to change the way we do things, it's no question that they have easily become essentials. Companies have started implementing the 'Bring Your Own Device' (BYOD) scheme in the workplace, and developers have been jumping in to deliver quality apps to fit the trope. If you're in serious need of a productivity boost, these five apps may do you good.

Google Docs (Platforms: Android, iOS, the web)

It's no question that Google Docs is a primary productivity tool -- it's available in all major platforms including Android, iOS, and desktops with browsers, making seamless integration easily possible. It's fully equipped with essential features such as changing fonts, find and replace, highlights, paragraph and style. It can even edit native Word documents so you can freely edit e-mail attachments in the format even while you're on the go. If you're looking for an app that does everything you need, Google Docs "just works."

Pocket (Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome)

The internet offers a limitless amount of information, be it useful or mundane. But if you find something interesting yet you don't have the time to read it, Pocket comes in handy as it lets you save web pages for later reading.

Evernote (Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome)

Evernote has become a mainstay when it comes to productivity. It's a cross-platform application that allows users to take notes, photos, audio and video clips, and then upload them for easy syncing across multiple devices. Share your notes seamlessly with other users and don't let anyone forget anything.

Google Drive (Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome)

There are already several cloud storage services that it's getting more difficult to choose the right one. But if you're already sporting an Android device, then Drive by Google is already baked into the system. Upload any file from your phone or your PC, make it private or share it with other users without any fuss and muss.

Skype (Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, The web)

Skype is one of the top choices when it comes to online conferences and workgroup chats. One-on-one chats are straightforward, and group voice calls are easy to make as well. Plus, with Skype for The web going beta, users will be able to access the app no matter which device they are using.
