iPhone apps have taken the world by storm by synchronizing everything we do on one device. Personal, social, games, marketing and even business applications are just a finger swipe away. iPhones are not just phones for communication; for employees, they serve as a personal assistant. Keeping track of notes and travel dates, accessing remote files and collaborating with teams was never so easy. Even your secretary can?t help you sign a document without a pen ? but iPhone can! Here?s our list of must-have iPhone apps to boost your business?productivity:
Google Drive

When you want to collaborate on a project with your colleagues, it can be hard to ping-pong a file between computers and then compile the editions. With iPhone, you can simply download the Google Drive app to sync all your files on multiple devices simultaneously. It brings all the functionality of Google Drive in the palm of your hand. It allows you to share files and assign permissions to your team mates. Collaborate with them online in real time! Plus, choose which folders to sync across your devices and then forget all worries. As you make changes to your files, Google Drive automatically saves changes every few seconds and syncs them across all your connected devices. Whether you?re working from home, the office or the crowded subway, your data is safe in the clouds.

Asana
Teamwork is the key to any organisation?s success. But it can be very hectic sometimes. Forgot to Cc: someone on the fortieth e-mail you were sending? Don?t worry. If you have an iPhone, download the Asana app. Simply add all your tasks in Asana (you can create separate folders for your organisation) and then assign the tasks to your team mates. Asana will automatically notify every one of the latest activities. Furthermore, you can upload files right inside Asana, comment on the progress and set deadlines. The app sends you reminders if it thinks you?re ignoring a task that is due. When you?re done, you can have the satisfaction of checking the task as ?completed?. You?re welcome.

Evernote
Evernote is another free app that allows you to manage your very long to-do lists. It has a graphical interface that lets upload images to your notes. You can save your random ideas, stay organised, capture photos and even record voice reminders. Its winning features include syncing automatically across all your devices, allowing you to search among all your notes and share them with your friends via Facebook or Twitter. There?s a reason this app has been among the top 10 in the New York Times best apps? list!

DropBox
Admit it: there just isn?t enough space for your files on your devices and you need online backups. Creating backups can be tiresome and can never be done frequently enough. Until now. DropBox allows you to create a syncable folder that automatically saves changes to your files in the cloud. If you lose connectivity, DropBox resumes whenever it detects a signal again. You can share your folder with multiple people and give them editing permissions so you can collaborate with them.
?
EchoSign
Signing documents was probably the only thing keeping those hefty printers in offices. EchoSign helps you sign documents digitally so you won?t have to print another paper again. Simply create an EchoSign account and open a document to digitally sign it. Doodle away your sign in the sign field and send the document via e-mail right from the app.

Dragon Microphone
We talked about replacing your secretary earlier. Well, who would take notes? Dragon Microphone is here to save the day! Simply dictate your notes to the app and it will convert your speech to text and save your note files. It can also recognise a remote microphone and grab your audio from there.

MyScript Calculator
Calculators make life easy. MyScript Calculator makes it easier. MyScript Calculator lets you handwrite your mathematical problems for instant answers. You no longer need to scour for the asterisk or the slash. Simple write it in in your style and the calculator will immediately recognise the numbers and symbols and give you answers. Genius!

Oovoo
To urge users to buy the Premium version, Skype no longer allows video chats among more than two people for free. Thanks to the app storms, however, ooVoo can be easily downloaded on the iPhone which lets you video conference with up to 12 people at a time ? with no charge!
?
TripIt
If you travel a lot, or work in a company where employees need to travel frequently, you?ll know the importance of maintaining a clean itinerary for your trips. TripIt lets you control everything about your trip right from your iPhone. The app collects all your confirmation emails and compiles them into an interactive design. Next, it generates a calendar for all your travel needs. If you want to share your travel plans with your boss, no problem. Let him know exactly when and how you?re planning for a vacation!

LogMeIn Ignition
