Maps added a parking spot
feature (Apple Maps offers
this feature as well). But
be sure to keep your location
services for the app on
“always,” and turn on the
“know where you parked”
button. When you do, you’ll
avoid the hassle of having to
open a separate app as you
arrive at your destination.
Once the app is enabled,
Google automatically drops
a blue dot on the map to
indicate where you parked
your car.Available for iPhone
and Android.TAXCASTER BY INTUIT
TURBOTAX
This TurboTax app may come
in especially handy this year
thanks to tax reform. You can
estimate your income taxes
and then compare how your
situation differs from last
year’s. It can also help you
make related financial
decisions like realizing capital
gains.Available for iPhone
and Android.MEDISAFE
Created by two brothers after
their father mistakenly took
an extra dose of insulin and
almost died, Medisafe offers
a medication reminder
feature that enables you to
set alarms and will notify you
if you’re running low on a
prescription or have been
prescribed medications that
aren’t supposed to be taken
together. You can also add a
family member or caregiver
as a “Medifriend” to be sent
reminders if you miss a dose.
Available for iPhone and
Android.MAGNIFYING GLASS WITH LIGHT
This tried-and-true app from Falcon in Motion is
always helpful to have on hand. It essentially turns
your iPhone into a full-screen magnifying glass that
helps you read pretty much anything. From menus
in dark restaurants to prescription bottles to even reg-
ular old mail, you can use this app to zoom in on type
and shine a light on it simultaneously. And you can
take photos of items and then zoom in on the photo.
Also useful: Should you choose to enable it, there’s an
auto-light feature that kicks in when you’re in dimly lit
spaces.Available for iPhone and Android.SC
