The world’s going mobile crazy as you will have seen from our recent research and we’re no

different for we love our mobile gizmos and gadgets and apps too! So we wanted to share Appleand Android apps that we think could be useful for project managers.

Appy reading to you all (we promise that’s the last corny joke from us!) and let us know your app

experiences and favourites.

Planning Pro for iPad

Nice little app that allows you to create new plans from scratch, make quick modifications to task start and end dates and

task durations. It has calendar view, critical path view and plan filtering features for project and task management.

TeamworkPM

On the road, day or night (oh, for the days before the mobile we hear you cry!) this gives you access to your projects on your

Android when it suits you. For instance, you can manage multiple accounts and use the dashboard for your list of assigned

tasks and milestones.

PRINCE2®

 Snakes and Ladders

No app list could begin to be complete without our great little game app to help you prep for your PRINCE2® Foundation

exam! This game-based revision tool lets you play against others or your device, choose your character and post your high

(we’re confident you’ll get them) scores to Twitter and Facebook. You can even make an in -app purchase of an additional

pack with a set of 60 set questions. Catch it in action here before getting it here. 

SG Project Suites

Designed with the iPad in mind and updated this year, this is a touchy-feely tool for both professional and amateur projectmanagers. Create multiple projects and switch between them, have start and end dates, rearrange task rows, set

dependencies and a whole lot more.

Evernote for Apple and Evernote for Android 

The elephant design is a big clue here! This is a must if you you’re the kind that forgets but has to remember everything on

all your devices. You can take notes, capture photos, make to-do lists, record voice reminders and make everything

searchable wherever you are. And it synchronizes with almost everything that you’d want it too.  

Keynote

Style and substance are captured here. This super app for creating powerful presentations was updated earlier this year and

you only need to give a quick tap and touch and you get animated charts and transitions. Go for full-screen view to presenton your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or use video mirroring to present on an HDTV and, best of all, as it works with iCloud

presentations, automatically stay up to date on all your iOS devices.

Bloomberg for iPad

Access all the news, stock quotes, prices and information about market leaders and laggers, from one of the world’s most

reputable sources of financial information, and do it all from your mobile device. Bloomberg is also great for any players ou t

there for you can even create a customised list of stocks that you follow.

Bloomberg Anywhere for Android

Totally delivers what it promises. Get real-time access to the Bloomberg Professional service. Features include MSG, IB,

News and Real-time quotes.

LiquidPlannerFans of this project management app can raise a glass because this has now gone Android. It has all the functionality of the

iPhone version and it looks like it’s going to be a hit. You can view and update tasks, participate in the comment stream,

browse your project tree and, as they say, more.

Mobile Project Manager

Manage your project plans on your Android. This useful app allows you to create projects that you can import using XML or

Excel into MS Project or OpenProj. They’ve also done a bug fix for adding notes to tasks. What more could you ask?  

ActionComplete

For the action-man PM this is a pretty perfect app. Based on the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology you’ll get

everything laid out for you and users have said they don’t feel that they have to manage long lists.  

Google Voice

Perfect for the manic and got-to-be-everywhere business person for with this you can dial a number and it will ring to

multiple places or devices and access all voicemail and texts from the web. To top it off, it lets you make international calls

showing your Google number. At the time of writing, it is only available in the USA.

These are only a few of all the brilliant apps out there so we’ll keep our on what’s hap pening in the market in what looks like

the year that mobile will come into its own. Companies change apps all the time so make sure you read all the blurb before

you buy. A final thought: we were all wondering what we did with our time before the mobile/cell came along?
