Technology THE ULTIMATE SKI PASS BAGS & SKIS GO FREE www.blglobal.co.uk november/december 2016 65 *Terms and conditions apply.
Technology Whether you want to organise your work life or choose a bottle of wine with confidence, we’ve picked five apps that will help you kick off the new year with gusto Words: Chris Wheal CAMCARD ‘Good intentions’ is the name I give to the pile of unsorted business cards on my desk. Thankfully, I now have the CamCard app. On the way home from meetings, I simply take a snap of each of the business cards I’ve collected and CamCard adds the details to my contacts. It lets me edit them before I save (though sometimes its guess at which category to put each bit of text in is wide of the mark). All new business cards are immediately in my address book, which syncs with my computer. Now there’s just that old pile of cards to get through … Free iSCANNER If someone sends you an official document in the post and you want a digital version or you’ve been asked to email it to a colleague, iScanner is the app for you. Using your phone’s camera, you can quickly turn any paper document into a PDF. There is a free version of the app, but that leaves you with a visible watermark at the top of your PDF, which is annoying. So it’s worth paying the small sum for the full version to give you a clean scan. It’s much quicker than putting paperwork through your scanner and the quality is almost as good. Free/£0.79 (premium) Five apps to make life better in 2016 MICROSOFT OFFICE It’s ubiquitous; you use it everywhere you go; and at long last, thanks to this handy app, it’s actually pretty good on your phone as well. If you don’t already have a Microsoft account, you’ll need to sign up for one in order to access all the functions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint (each a separate app). This gives you the freedom to edit documents on your phone wherever you are and save them to access later on your computer. One big plus, if you’re a fan, is that you can use Outlook on your iPhone instead of Apple’s Mail programme, which gives you the same look and feel as on your computer. Free HOW TO TIE A TIE There are lots of apps on tying tie knots, and many use an identical interface and graphics, but this one by Damir Nigomedyanov is the high-class end of the market and uses its own moving artwork. The free version gives you limited access, while the paid-for app shows you how to tie all the knots. Different knots suit different collars – and then there’s that occasional black tie event. There’s nothing more stylish than untying your real bow tie at the end of the evening and leaving it draped casually around your neck. This app means you can tie that knot confidently rather than wearing a tacky clip-on. Free/£3.99 (premium) VIVINO Scan a wine label, or even a wine list, into this nifty little app and Vivino will tell you all about the wine, how much a bottle might cost and what your fellow drinkers think of it. This means you can scan a wine list to find the bottle that’s either best value or most likely to suit your palate. Many venues – restaurants, shops and wine merchants – are already included on Vivino, so you can look up the wine list before you even enter. You can add your own comments to help others too, and there are special offers for wine lovers. Free 66 January/february 2016 www.blglobal.co.uk
