Toogo
Version 1.1
I have looked through many (many!) to do lists on the App Store, trying to find a one size fits all app for what I need. I don’t have a problem making my todo list .. I have a problem remembering to pull my list up when I’m near my errands!
Guess what .. there’s now an app for that! Enters Toogo. ..
Developed by Benjamin Nelson, this app is simple and straightforward, but super handy when it comes to reminding you of your daily errands. In a nutshell this app gives you the ability to create location – based to dos .. and then reminds you of your errands when you are near them. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
When you first open the application it defaults to the map screen, which looks similar to an application like Google Maps.
At the top you’ll see Settings, where you can change the map view and even enable the multi-tasking option for the application (when applicable on your device). At the bottom left you’ll see an icon that you will press to find your location (again on applicable devices). In the middle you can toggle between a Map View of your to dos, or a List View. At the bottom right hand side you’ll see the ‘+’ button, which is how you add a new location.
By default your map is empty aside from your current location marking. Pressing the ‘+’ button will take you to the screen where you can add new to do. It asks you for a Name (which will show up on either the list or the map), Location, and a location radius to which you should be notified (either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, or 10 miles).
By clicking the Location button it will default to your current location (if known), however you can either type in an address at the top or you can simply drag the little pin to the location you want it to be at.
(***NOTE .. this part appears to only work when multi-tasking is ENABLED on an iPhone that supports it***) Now comes the fun part. After giving your to do a name, location, and notification radius it is added to your list. When you are driving along and move within your specified radius a popup will appear and remind you of your errand. How handy is that?!?!
My only concern with this app is that it may be battery draining, since it appears to leave the GPS option on your phone active the entire time, through multi-tasking. However I have not used it long enough to confirm or deny this… but I can note a swifter decrease in battery usage and my phone, when not is use, feels warmer than it did before using this app.
If you have a device that can fully support the ability of this app I’d suggest heading over to the App Store now and grabbing your copy at the bargain price of $0.99. While I am thinking it may use a little more battery than your phone sitting idle it may be a minimal tradeoff to how handy this app can be for your every day errands.
If you’re interested in checking out a demo video, made by the developer, head on over to his website.
Enjoy!

Review – “Slick, Pretty, Useful and Efficient Security App”
App developer: Michael Aryeh
Who doesn’t love an App that both looks fantastic and performs perfectly? Not to mention helps you say organized and keeps your sensitive information safe & secure. At first glance (and to be honest, at second, third, fourth and fifth glance, etc) Security Organizer has got it all.
Having one place to store the info you might need quickly, but want to keep safe, is important. Many people are tired of carrying around all their important documents, or forgetting an important piece of information at a crucial time. With the effectiveness of encrypted Data now-a-days it’s simply easier to keep this information stored in a mobile device, to have on-hand at all times. Not only does Security Organizer help you store this information, and access it quickly, while keeping it safe & secure, it also does it in style
The interface for this App is just gorgeous compared to most security or password Apps. Sure it’s a utility, but that doesn’t mean it has to look utilitarian. No one ever said that you can’t look good while also being efficient. As you can see from the screenshots included on this page, it’s got a retro-feel to it, and I can tell you that the navigation is a breeze, it all comes together to be very slick.
Perhaps you just need a place to store all the user names and/or passwords that you use on a daily basis. How about just keeping all your banking information secure but still in your pocket. One of the more useful tabs I could see myself using often is the Credit Card/Debit Card section, because more often than not when I’m buying something online I don’t have my wallet readily available, but I always have my iPhone at my side.
You have the option to use Lite or Extra security (pretty much this means how often you’ll have to enter your pass-code), and how long the app re-locks after left unattended. This is a wonderful feature that should be included in every security or password Application.
The App description on iTunes boasts that it’s one of the lower-priced Apps without any hidden fees for syncing or updating. You really shouldn’t have to pay an arm and a leg just to keep your information actually secure with the Apple Internal Keychain Encryption.
If anyone is looking for a useful, and darn good-looking to boot, App to keep important information secure, but at their fingertips I highly recommend this App, it’s really impressive.
