The most useful smart phone app award goes to:
The Calendar
The most useful function of your phone will be as a personal reminder. The calendar function will allow you to finally manage your schedule. Even if you are used to a paper calendar, the electronic version will be even more helpful.
- Your phone is usually with you, so it is far more effective than a paper version, which can be left behind. Using the calendar on your phone means your schedule is always with you.
- Many smartphones allow you to schedule appointments by voice or text, which makes it easier to enter meeting info accurately.
- Reminders/recurring appointments are easily entered into the calendar then duplicated, so you don't have to write and re-write for appointments that occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
