Meeting Minutes


Developer Quote: "Meeting Minutes is a comprehensive solution for managing meetings."


- COST:     Free (Limited Time)     - APP STORE STARS:     4
- Categories: Business, Communications, Lifestyle, Native, Productivity


Prior to my days in the medical field as well as the discovery and sharing of iOS apps here, I worked in the banking business. That was one field in which there were daily meetings, often three a day, to discuss loans, interest rates, customer defaults, mortgages, you name it! Usually I was in charge of arranging the meeting and reports, along with noting the minutes, including who said what when! I have to sigh very sadly and loudly here because I could have really used this app back then instead of doing everything manually!

Meeting Minutes is a fantastic way to track every bit of information, every attendee, every spoken thought and deed that takes place in meetings. It offers a complete package of organization in recalling all the details of meetings using the various media offered by your device including scanning, recording and taking photos. Feast your eyes on all the features this loaded iPad business notetaking meeting app has to offer:

1- VISUAL SEATING

6- MEETING ATTENDEES

- Open In feature for the meeting minutes
- Ability to print the MoM
- Sharing and sending the minutes by email to all attendees.
- Attaching meeting documents to the MoM



There are many features that I am thrilled about with Meeting Minutes. First of all, the Visual Seating map serves to jog your memory in the event you forget who was speaking at any particular point. Secondly, the Meeting Agenda - though a simple item - often gets changed a multitude of times prior to a meeting. It is a treat to be able to so easily regenerate and re-order the Agenda here. Recording the Meeting and labeling the speaker is a terrific help, while automatically generating the minutes of the meeting is a godsend.

If you are in that position of being responsible for preparing for meetings and capturing every blessed moment of those meetings in your workplace then Meeting Minutes will undoubtedly be the app you must have close at hand to save you time, keep you organized, and keep your brain safe from a meltdown during these important and very busy occasions.

COOL CONCLUSION: Meeting Minutes is a treasure trove of business organizational strategies put to good use in recording all details in every possible way of daily meetings

justWink Greeting Cards

Developer Quote: "justWink lets you personalize and send awesome greeting cards from your phone to your friends, family, and beyond, via REAL MAIL, TXT messages, email or Facebook."



- COST: Free    - APP STORE STARS: 4-1/2

- Categories: Cards, Communications, Lifestyle, Native, Sentiments, Social Networking


There are so many aisles of greeting cards in the store for every occasion and sentiment. Still, sometimes it's hard to find just the right one. I personally like a card that is sentimental, but not overly so while using a dash of humor blended in for balance. It's a time saver being able to use my phone to send cards for every imaginable occasion. justWink Greeting Cards has more than 200 cards that will fit all the obvious and not-so-obvious occasions for sending them. Some of the sensational features of this all-occasion greeting card, social networking iPhone app are as follows:

- Cards that shuffle between funny, bold, cute, trendy, sassy, heartfelt, sweet, and beautiful

- Cards that open and flip and make people smile just like real card

- Send paper cards hand-delivered by your local mail carrier

- Customize these cards like you can any greeting card: Add your own note, drop in a photo, and even add your own signature (or finger doodle) for that authentic “I Actually Care About You” feel!

- Personalization – choose to add inside the cards: Your own message, signature, photo from your phone

- Share via snail mail, email, Facebook, Twitter, text message


Sure, there are always birthdays, but you have other intriguing categories in justWink Greeting Cards such as: Just Because, Congrats, Thanks, On The Fly, Bromance, Friendship, Couples and much more. Within each category, there are sub-categories. For example, inside of the Thanks group you will find Funny Thanks and Just Thanks.

View the cards on a shelf just like in your local store or swipe sideways to see each one at a time. Swipe again to open the card and read the sentiment on the inside. These cards are unique in both graphics and images, not clichéd and can be sweet, flirty and downright funny.

The feature I find most unique from other greeting card apps is the way that the cards animate in opening just like a regular paper card does. It's a really special touch. Add your photo or message if you wish, your signature, and you're done! Your card is on its way in a matter of minutes - a relief if you've remembered your friend's birthday too late! Or use justWink Greeting Cards to post on that someone special's wall on Facebook or use on Twitter! In any case, the recipient of your card will be delighted by its charming appearance and personalized content.
COOL CONCLUSION: justWink Greeting Cards makes it easy to send friends a unique and downright special, customized card for every imaginable occasion!

CryptMe - Crypt Messages


Developer Quote: "CryptMe allows you to encrypt personal text messages (e-mail, SMS iMessage, etc.), so they can only be read by your conversational partners who have the conversation-key/password."


- COST:     Free     - APP STORE STARS:     N/A
- Categories: Communications, Email, Lifestyle, Messaging, Native, Universal, Utilities


One of my perpetual disappointments with iOS udpates is that neither email nor iMessages have password protection. Yes, there is a passcode to gain access to the phone. However, I can't tell you how many people like to view my phone to admire it, or check out the wallpaper or apps. Well, mail and messages sit there in plain view on Home Screen just begging to be read. Since there is no password protection, another option would be to encrypt correspondence of a sensitive nature.

CryptMe takes care of this "free view to all" problem by encrypting specified mail and messages so that they are not visible to others. Just create a profile for your correspondent and then set a password. Once that's accomplished, you can directly send your encrypted messages. You can always edit the specific private profiles if needed. Now to read an encrypted message, mark the message, copy to clipboard and to go to CryptMe. Change to the correct profile and tap "decrypt". Some of the features of this email and messaging iPhone and iPad encryption app are as follows:

• Creation of contacts / friends list with photo and color
• Encrypt any text-messages (E-Mail, SMS, iMessage, etc.)
• E-Mail and SMS connectivity
• Password protection: The app can be PIN-protected from prying eyes
• Lock-Screen/Lock by shaking, or alarm button
• Save the conversation history (can be disabled in "settings-dialog")

There are enough features in CryptMe to ensure complete privacy in setting up your accounts. As an extra safeguard, you can also safeguard the app itself with a password so that no-one may view your CryptMe profiles. If you choose this option, however, you must enter the code each time you launch the app. You can also lock your device by shaking it and save your history. All these items are available through the Configuration or Settings. Why risk having your privacy invaded when CryptMe faithfully conceals all your sensitive correspondence?
COOL CONCLUSION: CryptMe provides the privacy needed for certain friends whose correspondence and messages you don't want readily visible on your device.
--Date/Version: Released 6/28/12 - Version 1.0
--iOS/Age Rating:  This app requires iOS 5.0 or later. Rated 4+.
--Device: Universal: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad.
