The app leverages Google Maps when adding location for an event by offering suggestions as well as offers opening Maps to help get directions to an event via shortcut on a reminder notification. Apple and Google calendars have syncing issues, which is annoying if you want to have shared calendars with friends / family. Even in the Pro. Download apps by 24me, including 24me Smart Personal Assistant and Complete to do list and tasks.
Life can get really hectic. From tasks at work, to tasks at home, errands to run and to-do lists to make, there’s hardly a moment to sit back and relax. Luckily, thanks to the wonderful world of technology, there are a variety of helpful apps that are designed to simplify our lives, keep us on track and maybe even carve out a little extra time for our own personal sanity during those busy days. Here are five free apps we like that will help you stay organized and on track.
The concept behind 24me is to provide one place to manage your schedule, and to automatically complete your tasks and errands, and that sets 24me apart from other calendar apps. As a team of geeks and designers, who think about every little element, we came up with 24me, and we have been named ‘App Store Best of 2014’ by Apple. ? ? Welcome iOS 12! 24me is live on the App Store supporting Siri Shortcuts and Interactions on Interactive Notifications! It is one of the first apps supporting the newest iOS 12, allowing you to enjoy the advancements Apple brings in the latest operating system.
Dropbox
From document and presentation files to photos and videos – Dropbox is your go-to app where you can easily store and share large items without hassle or freezing your inbox. Want to share a file with someone without an account? No problem; they can easily access this app without having to sign up. You can share and receive large files from any device 11attached to your account, and if you set It to automatically back up and sync to your devices, you never have to worry about losing any of those important documents or photos. Dropbox Basic access is free and includes up to 2 GB in storage. You can access more storage by upgrading to a paid Dropbox Pro subscription, or you can unlock additional storage by performing small tasks such as following Dropbox on Twitter or completing the “Get Started” tour.
24me
This app is great for anyone wishing they had their very own personal assistant both inside and outside of the office. 24me works wonders for helping to organize your life by combining your calendar, events, to-do lists, birthday reminders, social media, banking info and so much more in one location. Need to know what time you should leave for an appointment to avoid traffic? It can do that too. 24me is available for iOS devices (including the Apple Watch) and Android.
Evernote
Think of this app like a centralized notepad for everything – notes, sketches, text, PDFs, even audio recordings and videos. Evernote can also sync and save items from the internet. It even enables you to use your phone to scan documents for when you need to email an image or collaborate on a project with others. Like Dropbox, Evernote has a basic version (60 MB of new uploads per month) and paid Plus (1 GB/month) and Premium (10 GB/month) options.
LastPass
Have trouble remembering all of those passwords? LastPass can help. Between the 20-odd passwords that many of us use on a daily or weekly basis, it can be very tricky to always keep track. Let this app do the work. By using one master TouchID password, it securely stores usernames and passwords for you. The basic version of LastPass is free, while additional features, such as unlimited sync across all mobile and desktop devices, is available for a small annual fee.
Remember the Milk
This app allows you to create smart to-do lists and reminders for when you need them. You can prioritize your list by assigning importance, due dates or other tags, and it can sync your devices to your Google, Calendar, Twitter and even your Evernote account. Remember the Milk has a basic version and a Pro version with extra features, like unlimited sharing and unlimited storage.
Life can be simplified by integrating a few great apps to help organize your days. If you’re starting to feel overwhelmed by that hectic schedule, try out a few of these apps to help keep your days in order and your mind at ease.

24me has been around on the App Store, but its recent updates make it feel like a whole new app. Best described as a smart personal assistant, 24me 2.0 is a smart calendar and automatic to-do list that helps make life a little more manageable.
24me Calendar
At the top of the screen there are three different views that allow users to navigate through everything, along with a plus button to add new tasks and a More button to access other important screens. The three views include the new calendar view, the original task view, and a notification center.
The new calendar view features three distinct sections. The first is the date bar where users can scroll right or left to select a date or pull down to view the full month and select a specific task for that date. The all day section shows events that last all day and aren’t scheduled for a specific time - like birthdays and holidays. A small icon appears on the left beside the event to separate it from others, and the size of the all day section can be changed by dragging the bar up or down. Lastly, the tasks and events are displayed in different colors and different icons in the task area so users can keep tabs on their hectic schedules. While the calendar view will show both events and tasks, the task view only displays tasks so users can stay on top of things. The last section is the notification center, which shows reminders. A red number next to the bell shows how many new notifications there are to view. When the bell is tapped, users can view reminders, snooze, or dismiss them completely. 24me is loaded with many other features like the option to link everything to the app such as social networks, bills, financials, and more. There’s also the options to use voice commands to add meetings, tasks, and reminders, as well as integrated Outlook tasks and navigation. After using the app and playing around with all the features, the main disappointment is that it only gives the option to sync with the iPhone calendar and contacts. I couldn’t find a way to sync Google calendar separately with the iPhone or any other calendar options. Additionally, I’m skeptical when it comes to completely free apps. I didn’t see any promise that my information wasn’t being stored and shared, which causes some privacy concerns. Update: A privacy policy is available on their website, which should be read carefully to see what information is stored. Furthermore, a passcode helps protect private information from prying eyes for those who are concerned.
24me 2.0 promises to work flawlessly, and it does that quite well. I was impressed by all that it has to offer since it is completely free to try. It’s definitely an app that many busy iOS users will want to keep their eyes on as it helps make life a little simpler.
