Smart Phone applications have become an extension of one's life and living without such an application would certainly be a huge inconvenience.
From using Google Maps to navigate your way to a job interview or using Spotify to listen to a specific music playlist that is customized to your own preference, smart phone applications have undoubtedly been a crucial tool for many to use in their everyday life.

As such, I will be listing down the latest smart phone applications which are highly recommended for IT working executives.

Here are the 5 must have smart phone applications:

Google Calender

Like many busy executives who are bombarded with hectic schedules, Google calendar is an integrated seamless application that stores user calendars within a dynamic cloud system. The core functionalities of the system is its ingenious click and drag interface that allows you to simply drag your appointments or events and schedule them with ease.

You can also block out time in your schedule for vacation time and give short or long description of a particular scheduled appointment. One of the advantages of using Google powered applications is that you can link it to other Google application which includes the Google search engine.

While using Google Calendar, you may use the Google search engine to search on a particular event or conference timing. After which, the Google Calendar returns a search engine results page (SERP) that will present to you the schedule of that public event. You can then synchronize that particular event's schedule to your own personal Google calendar. However, such public events must use the Google calendar application for the synchronization process to work.

Normally, after collecting business cards from a conference or a networking event, you would have to painstakingly enter the business card information to make them your LinkedIn Connections.

However, with the Evernote application, it has the detecting technology to automatically turn your business cards into LinkedIn Connections by just taking a photo of the card.

Furthermore, the app is incredibly useful for taking notes and allows users to smoothly share notes from brainstorming sessions. The app’s synchronization system also allows you to transfer notes, electronic scribbles and reminders across different devices and among many users, making the app very versatile.

The wonderful functions for the WebEx application are that you can share the same screen during conference meetings as well as to allow users to transfer attached files during a meeting. Meaning to say, you can supervise a keynote presentation or explain figures through a spreadsheet while simultaneously being involved in a conference video meeting.

Text messaging, voice recordings and video chatting are all made possible with zero cost using the Skype application. Skype is a communication tool that allows almost face to face video communication with other Skype users.
The application has a voice chat function which allows telephone calls between users and also conference calling which requires a proprietary audio codec.

Skype's text chat functions include group chats, emoticons, storing chat history, and editing of previous messages (which is kind of important in the workplace).

Telegram

Instant messaging services such as the very popular What‘s app messenger where its group chat functions and instant reply services proved to be a convenient and indispensable communication platform in today’s digital age. However, there's a new kid on the block there has received noteworthy considerations and is giving WhatsApp a run for its money.

Introducing Telegram messenger, created most recently in 2013, Telegram's core messaging functions are similar to whatsApp. However, telegram has a few additional functions worth pointing out. Telegram allows users to send very huge gigabyte files through its messenger service and most importantly doesn’t have that pesky last seen function which kind have been more of a bane than a boon. Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can be easily deleted for more intimate and private conversations. Finally, its elite cloud based system allows users to access messages across multiple devices through very nifty synchronization processes.
