The annotation feature is what I find most useful when signing documents and sharing them electronically. You can organize your documents into folders within the app. Everything syncs with iCloud or your MacBook so you never have to worry about losing your data. I love using it on my iPad to take notes on the PDFs my professors provide so I don&#8217;t have to print them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Gemrick Curtom, 2013-2014 University of Houston PRSSA Chapter President<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5176\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5176\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HomePage_iPad-NoteSuite.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5176 \" alt=\"Photo from NoteSuite.com\" src=\"http:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HomePage_iPad-NoteSuite-300x260.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HomePage_iPad-NoteSuite-300x260.png 300w, https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HomePage_iPad-NoteSuite-100x86.png 100w, https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HomePage_iPad-NoteSuite-200x173.png 200w, https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HomePage_iPad-NoteSuite.png 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from NoteSuite.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>Pocket is a save-for-later app that lets users save and store content from mobile and web (via simple browser extension) to be viewed on either platform for when they have time. Pocket works offline, too, so you don\u2019t have to worry about using up data. I love Pocket because I\u2019m constantly scrolling through my Twitter feed, but almost never have time to read the articles I see then and there. Before, I used to say \u201ceh, I\u2019ll remember to read it later,\u201d and, of course, I wouldn\u2019t. So much great content lost!

I use an app called Sleep Cycle to maximize the sleep I do get. Sleep Cycle uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movement to determine which sleep phase you are in. Waking up in the lightest sleep phase is a natural way to wake up where you feel rested and relaxed. Simply set an alarm window (15-30 minutes), place your phone on the edge of your bed and go to sleep. Sleep Cycle takes care of the rest. Whether I&#8217;m in bed for three hours or nine, I wake up feeling better rested and ready to tackle the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Chris Bonelli, 2013-2014 PRSSA National Vice President of Chapter Development<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5177\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/widescreen_desktop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5177\" alt=\"Photo from SleepCycle.com\" src=\"http:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/widescreen_desktop-300x202.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/widescreen_desktop-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/widescreen_desktop-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/widescreen_desktop-200x135.jpg 200w, https:\/\/progressions.prsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/widescreen_desktop.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo from SleepCycle.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>Wondering if the press release you are about to publish could get you in trouble for plagiarism?

When you use the app to take a photo of your new friend&#8217;s business card, CamCard automatically detects the contact information and stores it in your phone and contacts.
