Killer Apps for Contractors

Here are six apps that you can load onto your smart phone that offer smarter time-tracking, better-looking presentations, and easier estimating. Penultimate is a drawing app that works with the popular Evernote app. Skitch allows you to electronically annotate and draw on photos in Evernote (though note that Evernote recently discontinued Android, Windows desktop and Windows Touch support for the app). TSheets is a cloud-based time sheet, tracker and expense-tracking app. ExakTime's mobile app uses photo verification to eliminate so-called “buddy punching.” HoverPro allows you to easily create an interactive 3D model of a property. RenoWorks also allows users to see what different design features would look like on a home based on an uploaded photo, but shows customers what specific products would look like rather than just general colors or styles.
