Show me your…

Welcome back to “Show me your…” where Owen students show off the stuff that helps them survive at Owen. Today, Jeremy Bartlow (MBA 2012) gives us peek inside his iPhone and touts some of his favorite and most used apps.

 

#1: Most important application – Calendar

Most students live off of their calendars. As you can see, I stay busy, and the only way I can keep track of everything is by using my iPhone calendar.

 

#2: Email

It may seem obvious that email and calendar are great to have on your phone, but it definitely helps to have instant access. I receive group member emails at all hours of the night and it is helpful to be able proof something quickly without turning my computer on.

 

#3: Dropbox

This awesome free application allows me to store 2+ gigabytes of data on a specific folder on my computer – that syncs with the web, AND my iPhone. This is awesome for sharing files. If someone wants a link to a presentation I created earlier in the day, I can send a link to download the file without opening up my computer. It is also great to refer back to class documents (i.e. syllabus).

 

#4 Starbucks Card Mobile App

Starbucks is right across the street! This app keeps my gift card charged and lets me accrue points with every purchase. I just earned a free drink today when I opened the app to take a screenshot.

 

#5 Online Banking & Bill Payments (Huge time savers)

Chase has a great app that allows me to deposit checks with my iPhone camera. This is a great way to keep banking with an out of town bank (Chase doesn’t have locations here).

 

#6 Zecco Lite

A great way to stay up-to-date instantly on my portfolios. This app is clear and straightforward in getting me the info I need.

 

About Doug Midkiff

I’m really good at Excel. I’m also a Texan, which seems to be a trend among OwenBloggers these days (you can’t stop us, you can only hope to contain us). After graduating from Texas, (Hook’em) I spent four years as a financial analyst before finding my way to Owen where I’m concentrating in finance with an emphasis on real estate. I love my wife, indie coffee shops, disc golf, soccer, web comics, Google maps, urbanism, sustainability, and warm weather.
