It’s a tie between Expensify and CardMunch. I’m a big fan of CardMunch because it allows me to take a picture if a business card, the app automatically uploads the data to my contacts and allows me to connect with the person on LinkedIn. Expensify makes recording expenses on the go a breeze, just take a picture add a fee details and the app creates a beautiful spreadsheet with categorized expenses.

The Blackberry Travel App picks and syncs all my travels straight from my email. It also tracks update on travel schedules and alerts me of changes ahead of flights. Hard not to be aware of changes with the Blackberry Travel App.
Another top one on my list is the Rebtel Ipad App. Once my ipad is connected, I can call any phone in the world without a sim card and from any location and I pay the same charges as I’ll pay when calling from my home base

Dotsavvy is one of the most experienced and successful digital agencies in East Africa.
My favourite mobile app would be DropBox. All my work is in the cloud and available on all my desktop and mobile devices.

Apps, I guess I am one of those that go in and out of them but here are my favorite ones at the moment;
Twitter – I don’t tweet but really use it as my most “active and real-time” source of information. I use the “search” tool a lot and pretty much search for the topic I need and there will be someone out there that can feed me the information i need.
Flipboard – When I am in a more relaxed environment and want to catch up on happenings, it links in well with my twitter account and allows me to read/navigate in a very simple and effective way
Songza -This one will be of interest to you but the whole family actually loves the app, we tend to listen to all our music on here
Bria – This is biased as I use it for my VOIP service
Travel – United, American and Delta as I can board my flights off the app and Hotel Tonight
Messaging – Whatsapp
Games – Really depends on what I am playing at the moment – right now its Candy Crush
Sports – Bleacher report
