MAILBOX
(FREE)
If just looking at your overflowing Gmail inbox makes
your pulse quicken, the iPhone app Mailbox is your new
best friend. The app helps you tackle that mounting
inbox — with the goal of getting down to the elusive
“inbox zero” — with convenient labels for all your unread
emails and a feature that allows you to instantly swipe
messages to archive or trash.

“Mailbox largely fixes a problem most of us have with
email: quickly getting rid of the junk we don’t want,
and saving the stuff we do for later,” writes Business
Insider. “You’ll want to give it a try.”
CHECKMARK
($4.99)
You’ve written on at least five to-do lists that you need
to pick up your dry cleaning, but can never seem to
remember at the moment you’re actually walking past
the dry cleaner. Of course, there’s an app for that. Try
Checkmark, which can set up reminders based on time
and location. Users can create repeat notifications, or
snooze reminders to save for next time.
“While Apple’s built-in Reminders app does locationbased tasks pretty well, Checkmark makes it dead
simple,” LifeHacker raves.
CLOUDON
(FREE)
Recommended by Mashable for boosting work productivity,
CloudOn allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and
PowerPoint to create documents on the go using your iPhone,
iPad or Droid. Users can sync with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive
and SkyDrive accounts, and also email files to contacts directly
from mobile devices, so you don’t have to wait until you get to a
computer to add that attachment.
“If you find yourself in a pinch needing to work with Microsoft
Office files, the free CloudOn app might be just what you’re
looking for,” writes TIME TechLand.
