iOS has been the dominant force as far as apps are concerned. The app store has a ton of apps that are hugely useful and quality stuff unlike Android which has a lot of bloat and malware. Here are some useful productivity apps for iOS devices that really help you get things done effectively.

Here are the 5 must have productivity apps if you own an iOS device:

Dropbox: This app is a personal recommendation. The best Cloud storage solution out there for small and medium enterprises. I use it all the time to sync, share, store and access files on my devices. It has apps on all major platforms which gives you increased flexibility to use it across devices. Dropbox offers 2GB of free data which is sufficient for a light to medium user, anything more than that and you can buy extra storage to enjoy all the cloud storage bliss. It also has great features for Business users such as remote wipe, file recovery and versioning which lets you manage teams efficiently. Click here to Download

Pocket: Ever came across an interesting article or video in your office but didn’t have the time to read? With this free app you can save articles, videos and web pages to return to it later from any of your other devices so you don’t miss anything ever again. It recently got a major update making it even more useful and functional. Click here to Download

InstaPDF: This nifty little app lets you scan all your PDFs and upload them to the cloud instantaneously right from your iDevice. You can later access them on your Mac via an app or through the web interface. PDFs are an important format for business documents and this app will make sure you all your PDFs in one place for easy and convenient access. The iPhone app also got an iOS 7 redesign making the experience seamless. This one will cost you $2.99 but its money spent wisely. Click here to Download

Fantastical 2: This is a 2-in-1 app that combines your calendars and reminders in an elegant and iOS 7 inspired design. You can schedule your calendar and reminders with just a few taps and it works great in both landscape and portrait mode. It even has voice recognition built in so you can dictate to add reminders and tasks. Fantastical also has a very useful search function that adds to the overall functionality. This one comes in at an introductory price of $2.99 on the App store. Click here to Download

 Quickoffice: This Company got snapped up by Google last year and it’s a worthy app that lets you create and edit Microsoft office documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The best part is its completely free to use on your iPhone and iPad. So you can now create documents on the go and upload it to Google drive for accessing it later. This is a must have app on your iOS device until Microsoft release a native Office App for iOS. Click here to Download
