Life-Saving And Killer IPad Apps|IMDb’s iOS Movie Star Tracking Update

Tablets and mobiles have ushered in a new revolution in communication. You can buy stuff, email to fax an urgent document, track your friends’ or family’s location, and do so much more while sitting or on the go. Apple’s iPad and iPhone are the leading mobile devices out there, and naturally their apps outnumber apps developed for any other operating system.

Here then is a list of really killer iPad apps along with a couple that can save your life:

IMDb’s iOS Movie Star Tracking Update

IMDb has posted a super update that allows you to track lost, current or forgotten movie stars. For example, if you’re wondering about what Joaquin Phoenix or Michael Oliver (Problem Child – 1990) are doing these days, all you have to do is sign up with the service and create a list of people you are curious about using the app’s "People Lists" feature.

The app is a wee bit complicated to get started on – for example, you have to create a list and change your list’s type from the default “title” to “name of your list.” However, once you get around it, it’s simple to use. One drawback is that it does not notify you if any of your favorites start working on a new flick.

SOS My Location

If you get lost in the middle of nowhere and are clueless what to do next, use SOS My Location. The app is connected to many SOS lines, and once you activate its beacon feature, it sends out a request for help to all its pre-set SOS lines. The person in need of help then receives a link to a map that points him to the nearest help centers, along with his current location.

Emergency First Aid & Treatment Guide

This is a very simple, intuitive and easy guide to use. Just search for the emergency situation, read the instructions and apply them – that’s all there is to it. It can help you save people after they lose blood or get a heart attack and more. It also teaches you how to administer CPR.  The best thing about this app is that it works offline as well.

Talking Points

This is one cool business app that helps presenters and speakers. In fact, you can consider it as a mini teleprompter. All you have to do is write your talking points and ensure that your iPad is close to you when you speak. This is a must-have business meeting app that can make you a well-organized and meticulous speaker in the space of a few meetings.

Epicurious

Do you have a load of stuff in your refrigerator and don’t know what to cook? Download Epicurious and key in whatever you have stocked. The app will throw up interesting cooking ideas. If you don’t have the ingredients, no problem – the app also will create a shopping list!

These are a few iPad apps that can make your personal and professional life more interesting. Download them and don’t forget to leave your feedback on this page.
