8 Apps Everyone Needs to Have on Their Smartphone or Tablet.

I couldn’t live without my smartphone. I mean I could and I do one day a week, but it has become a very important tool for running my business. I know for many of you, your smart device is a must have item. I bet that even though you have a smart device with a lot of storage, there are only a few apps that you use. I only keep the apps that I use on my devices, but I know there are many of you who have downloaded every app suggested to them but only stick to a select few. We all have our go to apps that help us in our daily lives, but if you want to get the most out of your phone and tablet, here are the apps I recommend you install today. Google Photos. We all take pictures and shoot video with our phones and tablets, but are you backing them up. Thanks to Google photos, you can have piece of mind that your precious photos are being backed up … automatically. Good news for us all, but what’s even better is that you have unlimited storage for your favorite photo memories and videos. You can also access them from any of your devices. Running low on storage on your device, you can delete your photos and videos and they will stay on Google Photos. Google Maps. A Rand McNally atlas was thing to carry around for those moments you get lost, but not anymore. With Google Maps, you’ll never get lost. Need to get from point A to Point B, just get an address and Google Maps will take you there step by step. Doesn’t matter if you’re driving a car, walking or cycling, Google Maps will get you there.
