REVIEW: The New Must-Have Apps for the Business Diva

Most of us have apps for our social lives, or apps for our business lives, but how many of us have apps that combine the best of both worlds? That’s the basic idea behind The App Diva, a rapidly growing suite of apps that are geared to the startup entrepreneur and the small business owner. In other words, the apps are perfect for all the business divas out there.

Specifically, The App Diva apps are meant to help you take advantage of all those free moments in your life when you feel like you should be doing something more than just checking Facebook or catching up on the latest Internet meme. As of launch, there are three powerful apps – Right Now, Plus 1, and What’s Poppin – each of them geared for a specific part of your business life.

If you’re caught up in the blurring of the line between your personal and professional life, the first app in the suite you’ll probably want to use is the Right Now app. It’s designed to be a comprehensive directory of all the local businesses in your area that can deliver services within a two-hour window.

Maybe your lunch date has canceled on you, or your afternoon sales call has been postponed until tomorrow. That’s when you’d open up Right Now on your smartphone. Right Now recognizes your GPS location and automatically presents you a list of local area businesses that are open for business. You can sort by industry or region, so that you can find a business in your part of town that’s available to provide service “right now.”

Here’s just one possible use case of the Right Now app – you’ve been using your laptop computer all day and it suddenly stops working. At that point, you have two basic options – you can either throw your hands up in despair and write off the rest of your day to DIY tech support, or you can open up the Right Now app and see what technology service provider can fix it for you ASAP. Maybe there’s a computer repair shop just a few minutes away.

What’s unique about the Right Now app is that it’s been designed with the business owner in mind. The creators of the app realized that even though you’re in the office early in the morning or late at night, you still have a personal life to take care of. So you could just as easily use the Right Now app as a way to plan a weekend catering event or plan the next lawn maintenance appointment for your house.

All of the apps from the App Diva seamless integrate with your smartphone’s calendar apps. Moreover, since this is a suite of apps, they also integrate with each other. You can take contacts from the Right Now app and add them to the Plus 1 app or the What’s Poppin app, for example.

Again, it’s pure diva genius – the apps recognize that there are no longer “business contacts” and “personal contacts” any more once you’re a small business owner. So download the suite of apps from the App Store or Google Play store today and run your business like a true diva!
