For those studying for their PRINCE2 Foundation exam. This app is great fun and surely the future for learning PRINCE2! Pit yourself against your mobile or other players. If you answer the PRINCE2 Foundation questions correctly you climb the ladders and slide down if you get them wrong.

This app is specifically designed for those who need to work out capacity rates for any task, anywhere, any time with a view to minimizing the need for time and motion studies and number crunching.

Other mind-mapping apps worth looking at include SimpleMind Xpress (free) which allows you to exchange with SimpleMind Desktop for Mac OS X and iBlueSky (£5.99).through which you can now, amongst other things, move text-heavy branches and save project data more often.

Bump (Cost: Free)

Huge fun! Does exactly what it says on the box: two people hold their phones and bump hands to share everything from business details to photos. FYI, PayPal’s (free) money app now has this technology; so no excuses now, if you split the bill in a restaurant, you can pay up by bumping phones! Globetrotters out there may also like the WorldCard Mobile (£3.49) business card reader and scanner.

SharePoint users will value this. It lets you browse and search all company documents and it connects to the server so you can access information on everything from Word to PowerPoint, and do anything from making lists to contacting people, with ease.

Simple yet brilliant! No more email or phone ping-pong every time you want to schedule a conference call or a meeting. Propose multiple meeting times to as many people as you like and the app will handle replies and book the time when everyone is free. Or they can visit your Tungle.me page, propose meeting times and you can pick the time that suits you.

Things (Cost : £5.99)

The ever popular task manager allows users to manage things to do, due dates and projects with the latest version letting you create and manage Areas of Responsibility and giving further support for creating mixed projects.
