Apps that we like: Mailbox, by Dropbox
Mailbox is a completely redesigned inbox that makes email light, fast, and mobile-friendly. Quickly swipe messages to your archive or trash. Scan an entire conversation at once with chat-like organization. Snooze emails until later with the tap of a button — they’ll return to your inbox automatically so you can focus on what’s important now.
Why we like it:
• The swipe interface is very intuitive
• It let’s you ‘snooze’ an email and set a reminder for it at a later time.
How to share a board as an image:
You can either share your moodboard with or without the title bar. To share with the title:
– pinch-out of the board or tap the top left corner to switch back to Board view.
– Tap the share icon (bottom left, below the image) and under Share, tap Image.
– To save on your device Photo Album, tap Save Image or select a destination (Tumblr, Pinterest)
Apps that we like: Instapaper – read it later
Instapaper is the simplest way to save and store articles for reading: offline, on-the-go, anytime, anywhere, perfectly formatted.
Why we like it:
• It is extremely convenient to have at all time an offline reading list available.
• Folders are a convenient way to manage a reading list by topics and activity
How do I move a cell?
Simply drag and drop a cell to the position you want to move it to. Cells with content will swap positions.
Apps that we like: Citymapper
Citymapper is reinventing the everyday urban transport app and making the large complicated cities simple and usable. A to B journey planning, real-time info on all modes of transport where available (next departures and line status), book a taxi or a car through our integration with Uber and Hailo, weather, alerts, disruptions and everything you need and may not even realise that you need to manage your life in the city.
Why we like it:
• I’m not sure how I would go without it
• It’s the first app before to decide on how I will go to a meeting (and when I should leave)

Apps that we like: Medium, reading stories
Welcome to Medium for iOS, a simple app that lets you read and write the stories that matter most to you.
Every day thousands of new voices publish their unique experiences, views, and reflections to Medium.com, creating the largest, most diverse collection of stories on the internet. With this app you have the cleanest, simplest way to discover them and create your own, wherever you are.
Why we like it:
• The long read form of writing and reading is not gone because of Twitter—it has to be re-invented; Medium is probably the best place now where to discover new content
• The app on iOS and on the web have a beautiful and simple interface.

You will need your Pinterest username which is the bit visible immediately after www.pinterest.com/ if you are logged in in a browser.
