Since my recent switch to the land of Apple and iPhone I have been on the hunt for great apps that will make my (mostly mobile) life a little easier.
One problem I have while on the go is documents. I am always in need of a price list, estimate, or template while I’m away from my desk. A friend of mine referred me to an application called QuickOffice. This application started as a service where you could email a document to a specific email address and have it transferred into the iPhone app where you could edit and send it back. While this seemed a little cumbersome for me, I investigated further and realized they had recently added new features.
The QuickOffice application now allows you to connect to Dropbox (famous for syncing files across many computers and mobile devices). I can now simply copy a file into my Dropbox on my desktop or laptop and it will sync up with both the Dropbox and QuickOffice apps on my iPhone. For people who need to use documents and spreadsheets on the go, this is a life saver.
What about GoogleDocs?
Another of my favorite web applications is GoogleDocs. I use GoogleDocs for mostly personal documents (I’m still a little shy of Google because I think they are going to take over the world). There is nothing of great importance in my personal documents so they can do with them what they wish. To my surprise… QuickOffice also allows me to access my GoogleDocs on the go as well. I have now mastered both personal and business documents in a single application.
At a price of $9.99 in the iTunes store, this app may seem a little pricey. I found that even though this application was expensive, I got my money’s worth the first time I was in a bind and needed a file.
Check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it!
