December 31, 2014

With the New Year upon us, we asked Joynture members to tell us a little about an application, tech topic, company or hardware that impressed them in 2014. Here are some of their thoughts:

TurboScan is a photo-scanning iPhone application that’s really neat. You take a picture of a document and TurboScan converts it into a perfect PDF.” – Jess Haskins, What Pumpkin

“The rivalry between transportation companies Uber and Lyft that took place earlier this year was pretty interesting. It led to many free rides across America.” – Michael Darmstadt, EWS

ZenHub is a project management tool that is deeply integrated with GitHub. The only downside is that you have to use Google Chrome.” – Tiffany Bogich, Standard Analytics

Spring is a mobile application that allows users to select a specific rhythm of music to exercise to based upon how intense of a workout they want. It comes stocked with a library of great songs that are broken down into distinct categories of rhythm.” – Alan Venable, EWS + Joynture

Magisto is a mobile application that makes video editing really simple. Its design is incredibly user-friendly, and the program has an automatic collaging function that is a lot of fun.” – Michelle Bonavitcola, Joynture

“I’ve found Zapier to be an awesome help to my business. It helps me stay organized even though I’m working on a bunch of different things at once.” – Galen Simmons, Direct Match

Asana and desktop publishing were the two biggest force multipliers for us.”
Adrian Grant, Venture Assembly

WhatsApp Messenger is an international instant messaging application that is free for the first year. Users can exchange text messages, images, videos and audio messages for free through any Wi-Fi connection. This means that the user doesn’t face SMS allowances or size restrictions anymore, and it provides group chat and location sharing options, too.” – Deepika Bector, EWS + Joynture

Trello is a web-based, project management tool that allows co-workers to collaborate on specific tasks drawn from “To Do,” “In Progress” and similar lists. It’s very easy to use and has all of the expected features (due dates, check lists, attachments) that one would want in this kind of program. It’s been a great help for us.”
Paul Snatchko, EWS + Joynture

“I love my new iPhone 6. The screen is a lot larger and the battery life is longer, which makes watching shows and browsing social media more convenient.” – Tanya Cardenales, Joynture

Snapchat was my friend this year. You can take a fun picture and you don’t have to worry about any lingering consequences.” – Colby Riggle, EWS
