What are the best apps to use?

Question

Hello BP, I've been looking @ this site for a couple of months now and decided to join for the new year. In my 1st post I would like to share the apps I use and find out what apps BP members are using.

1) sign my pad- sign docs from your tablet or phone.
2) foxfi- free internet hotspot.
3) cam scanner- takes pic of doc and saves it as a PDF to your computer.
4) dropbox- gives you access to your docs anywhere via the cloud first 2gb are free.

I need a good office suite to read and make exel docs if anyone knows one.
Also I need an app that edits PDF files. Thanks in advance

Welcome Allan Edmond! I'm a huge fan of "Open Office" - which is like the Microsoft Word suite, but 100% free. Works great.

Be sure to set up some  Keyword Alerts  for terms you'll be interested in knowing more about or places you can jump into the conversation more easily.

Welcome to BP Allan. You should also start a thread in the member introduction area and tell us a little bit more about yourself and your real estate goals and experience.  Also, I would definitely recommend adding a picture to your profile...it really enhances the member interaction.  As for your apps I actually wrote a blog post about some of my favorite Apple apps

Also, there was a running thread that mentioned some great Apps:
