But there’s one little set-back: most mobile business apps today make big promises and don’t deliver. They promise Heaven and Earth and at the end, don’t fulfill their promise. They have "fluffy" and clunky interfaces, bad and non-responsive customer support, non-intuitive, and they make small tasks seem to be complex.
In this article, I’ll be giving you 5 free, tested, and powerful mobile apps that’re sure proven to make your work easier as a business owner.
Brewster
I believe you have friends and colleagues you interact or connect with on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Brewster is a powerful mobile app that makes it easy to pull your contacts info together on all those platforms and create a detailed and high in-depth profile for each one.
Another benefit about this amazing mobile app is that, it uses a relationship algorithm that automatically sorts out contacts and sends you a gentle reminder anytime you have an important event coming up, or whenever it seems like you're falling out of touch with someone.
Pro tip: I'm an avid Brewster user and I'm proud to be a user because it works. It gives you the opportunity to search profiles not just by name, but by keyword, location and photo.

Uberconference
