Bookish (and not so Bookish) Thoughts is hosted by Bookishly Boisterous. This is a chance for book bloggers to dabble in areas besides books (but those are welcome too). Share your plans for the weekend, a rant on people not using their turn signals in parking lots, or your love of Sunday morning mimosas.
Let's talk apps for a minute. I'm still a relatively new app user. Technology and I are not always friends. But especially in the world of real estate you need to use apps to be on top of things in such a fast-paced industry.
One app I think it's important for people--especially those who are on the road a lot--to have is React Mobile. It defaults to "I'm Fine," but if you're feeling unsafe you can push the "Follow Me" button and the GPS will track you. If you are in danger, there is an "SOS" button that will call for help and also notify the contacts you've loaded into the app as well.
The Rover app helps you locate boarding, house-sitting, doggy day care, dog walkers and more in your area. It will list the providers by name, how far away they are, and how much they cost. Users are able to leave reviews. One of our friends swears by this app.
Waze is a fabulous GPS app that alerts you when you're approaching police, accidents, road hazards or traffic jams. Their site says it will navigate you to the cheapest gas along your route too.
The Holy Bible app makes it easy to read on the go. I use it anywhere so I can get my daily Bible reading in. You can also search for plans that include short devotionals and verses. You can add friends and also create images with Bible verses on decorative backgrounds that you can post to social media.
What are some of your favorite apps?
Oh, I like the idea of some of those apps, especially those that track you and allow others to do so to keep you safe. Would they work if you are in an area with No Service? I always think that when in danger, that's when you're most likely to be in a No Service area...and that's when you need your phone!

MY BOOKISH/NOT SO BOOKISH THOUGHTS
Hi Laurel, That's a good question. I'll have to ask because there are remote areas and it would be dangerous if it didn't work then.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week.
Ok, I'm addicted to this game app Design Home! IT's addicting designing rooms
