The definition of Productivity differs from one Entrepreneur view to another. But in general, we all spend a lot of time on mobile, let alone Apps. So here are a few apps that really help us to stay productive by us avoiding repeating the same things every day while we can automate; help us not to waste time in reading stuff about things that are not very constructive etc.
Unroll.me
About the Product
Say Good-Bye to the Rookie Marketers who think they can push traffic to their website by spamming your mailbox. Unroll.me is simply brilliant as it lists down all the subscriptions tied to your email and helps you organize. It is a free service that makes you productive as it gets and the best part is it is not just productive for entrepreneurs but for everybody with too many subscription problems.
How Unroll.me Adds Value
1. Easy one-step sign-up that detects all your subscriptions in no time.
2. It allows you to ensure that the required message reaches you through the vast sea of unwanted information.
3. This product also has a roll-up feature that (given that you added those subscriptions under roll-up category) compiles all the news and sends it to you in one email in the evening/morning/afternoon (User-Choice).
Venmo
About the Product
Venmo is like the underdog that people choose to overlook because of the spotlight on Paypal. Venmo is a true definition of a Productive App that helps users to transfer money faster and more secure than Paypal.
How Venmo Adds Value
1. Venmo is a free service that allows you to send money to anybody at any time, in a secure manner.

Pocket Analytics
About the Product
This again is an iOS app that consolidates access to a wide range of analytics services into a single app, thereby making the process of checking key metrics more efficient and the data more relevant. Users are able to view current, average, maximum, and total values for all metrics, as well as generate trend lines. Additionally, users can compare historical daily values across metrics from different accounts and services by simply tapping on a graph.
How Pocket Analytics Adds Value
1. It reduces the frequency of constantly switching between different apps on your phone, and also from checking various websites.
2. Reduces hassle in checking status – the user doesn’t have to log into Google Analytics / Facebook insights, etc., separately every time they want to check status because Pocket Analytics displays all information on the same screen.
3. The app is extremely flexible in allowing the user to customize how their data is presented – website visitor statistics can be placed next to app store sales data, which in turn can be next to link sharing metrics – each from a different account with a different service.
4. Users can also create their own tabs in the app to construct mini dashboards for related metrics from their accounts. Users then choose the graphs and charts to add to each tab and can arrange them using a simple drag and drop mechanism.
Evernote
About the Product
Despite what the Evernote Corporation has come through, the product is considered to be a “must-have” in every Entrepreneurs arsenal. This is a cross-platform app that can replace the best of Personal Assistants in the world.

Workflow
About the Product
Workflow is an iOS app that executes a series of actions in a single flow. iOS devices have evolved into powerful modern computers, but there are still some areas where users can be slowed down by app limitations, or by the tedious process of performing the same task over and over. Workflow takes care of just that.
How Workflow Adds Value
1. Deep integration with iOS apps that makes the flow quicker and easier.
2. When automating, it saves time on a trivial task that you repeat 10 times a day by helping you save 30 seconds on an impressive workflow you only need once a month.
3. Workflow neatly organizes actions by category and system integrations (documents, Health, Photos, etc.); you can also view suggested actions or search.
4. Users can avail ‘Show Alert’ and ‘Quick Look’ actions to debug what is going on to preview that the correct text or image is being passed to the next action without having to wait until the end for the final output.
