I’ve been thinking a lot lately of what kind of mobile apps to develop. It seems like all the larger companies have developed apps or in the process of doing so. This is a great way of marketing, staying on trend, and ultimately increasing the bottom line – profits. But, for myself, what kind of apps could actually make my life easier?

Two things come to mind. The first is the amount of junk mail I get on a regular basis. The second is the fact that I recently bought a condo and think about the complexity of the home buying process. So I started looking and came across two great apps, I’d recommend to anyone.

We’ve all done it. Seen that our inbox has messages. You get excited. Is it an email money transfer? Is it an email from an old friend? Often, no! It’s spam! And no one likes it. I recently read that the average household receives over 850 pieces of spam over a year. Clicking “unsubscribe” often doesn’t work or often seems too intricate a process. PaperKarma lets users submit a photograph of each piece of junk mail they’d like to stop receiving and then works to make that happen!

I’m sure anyone who has purchased a house knows how difficult it is between the homebuyer and real estate agent to have consistent, convenient, and organized ways to maintain relations. Hakema books appointments between real-estate agents or sellers and potential buyers. For the seller, the appointment booking button may be integrated into online classified ads posted by real estate agents or even property owners. They set their ability and the service schedules appointments. For the buyer, the benefits include the ability to book appointments, getting confirmations and reminders of meetings, SMS messages if property is sold or if the price changes. Another great thing is that sellers and buyers receive daily summaries of their bookings!

Do you have any apps you’d like to recommend or any ideas for apps to develop?
