APPS WARS
In the second part of the Tech Ranch show, Marlo, Jim and Annie compare notes on apps they use to help make life easier for them during their daily routine. However, it seems that the trio each have their own perspective on apps, usage of apps or sticking with old school methods of keeping track of a daily schedule. Here is a breakdown of the apps the talked about:
Best Weather App – The winner goes to 1weather. This weather app is for Android users. The features range from real time weather based on location to predicting the forecast 12 weeks out to an up-to-date weather radar so you can see if bad weather is headed your way.
Best Storage App – GoogleDrive comes in first with storage. This App gives the user the ability to store photos, documents, and much more, complemented with SodaPDF easily to back up your documents. Google offers 15 GB of space for free, with the ability to purchase more space if needed. iCloud came in second, partially due to the inability to access your iCloud from anywhere, but also because it only offers 5 GB of space and is limited to Apple users only.
Best Map App – Google maps hands down. This map app is the most efficient as far as giving exact directions and is better at providing those directions from anywhere. Again, this app can be used from anywhere and can get you going in the right direction if you are lost.
Best Voice Activated Device – Alexa is the winner this time.
