CamScanner
This free app has received a five-star rating from users and is available for download here. With CamScanner you can quickly and easily turn any document into a PDF by taking a photo with your smartphone. The app also allows users to make notations on the PDFs or highlight certain portions and share with colleagues.
Evernote
Do you prefer to use your mobile calendar and “notes” app instead of a physical day planner? Evernote is the perfect option for organizing your professional projects for increased productivity. This popular (and free) app lets you store all your notes, images, article clippings, and to-do lists all in one convenient place, allowing you to work smarter and faster.
Duolingo
With Duolingo, professionals can enjoy language courses through the app’s “gamification” technique of teaching. Unlike traditional language learning programs, Duolingo teaches by rewarding users with virtual currency called Lingots and allows them to compete with friends and colleagues. In its four-year existence, Duolingo has been downloaded over 100 million times.
Expensify
If you’re not careful your office expenditures can quickly spin out of control. Expensify helps professionals stay organized and on top of travel and other business expenses by creating concise reports. Simply take photos of your recipients and Expensify automatically takes control of each step of the itemizing process. The app is free and currently boasts over 4.5 million users from over 300,000 companies.
