Before I get started, I must admit: I am a chrome user when I plugin to my desktop. There are such a huge number of web-browsers out there, and I simply have removed myself from the browser update and review pipeline. Back when the iPhone first came out, I was pretty content with the just using Safari. As a Mac User at the time, it was easy for me to transition to the Safari browser on the iPhone. A few years went by, I tried Opera (and un-installed it), and then Chrome came to the iPhone and I almost cried.
Now I have reached a point where the iOS Chrome browser is being eclipsed by other third party software. I will always use Chrome on my Mac and PC computers, but when I am on the go with my iPad and iPhone, I find that both Safari and Chrome are lacking in functionality. As an avid Evernote User, and someone who is always looking for apps with Educational Connotations, I decided to try Dolphin, the Evernote integrated web-browser. It only took a few minutes for me to latch on to the Functionality that Dolphin has to offer.
When you factor in Desktop Chrome Extensions to sync Bookmarks, and send websites to your phone, you come away with a great productivity app. You can see those amazing features in the video review below.

Over the past few months, I have been working hard to locate a Todo list app that works for my systems. It has been a long journey…
When I first started, I was recording all of my Tasks on either a sheet of paper (or sticky notes) and sometimes entering them on my iOS Reminders Application. The stock Reminders app does get the job done, but did not have the features I wanted. Above all things, I am a technology integrationist! My systems work because they interact with one another, not because I have found a single silver bullet. After looking at GNEO, Eisenhower, Trello, Toodledo, Things, and Wunderlist, I finally broke down and tried Todoist.
It has changed my world completely! I can quickly and easily manage a wide range of Todos and Projects within a single, integrated interface. I love todoist, and it has replaced all of the other applications on my iOS Devices.

Platform: iOS Cost:$2.99 Another great todo app. I found that for 2.99 it was a good application to extend the standard Reminders App. If you are like me and tend to try to have syncing to desktop services, and a slew of easy to access resources, this app does not...
