The best business apps for the iPhone and iPads? At Mac Rental Company we work with a wide range of business owners – from graphic designers to mumpreneurs who somehow manage to balance their busy lives with a thriving business. And yet when their iPhones, iPads or MacBooks break they find themselves in something of a bind. This is because we aren’t just using our Apple devices to make calls or send messages – there are plenty of rivals on the market who also possess that functionality. It’s because Apple go above and beyond in creating innovative and ingenious ways of adding value to the end user. So, this week we thought we would focus on businessmen and women, asking the fantastic array we work with what apps they are using. And don’t worry, we’ve compiled it into a handy list for you.

1. Evernote Scannable

Another branch of the fantastic Evernote brand, which if you haven’t already checked out we highly recommend you do – Evernote Scannable allows you to easily and effortlessly crop and scan documents such as businesses cards, receipts and really any bits of paper you might find lying around in your bag for years to come. Not only is it saving your back the additional weight, but also the environment at the same time.

1. Slack

The future of productivity, Slack has had some pretty big hype over the last few years and was recently priced at a cool billion dollars. An app that basically integrates every functionality that you could ever need in the workplace, it guarantees that you can continue to collaborate on the go. What more could you ever need?

1. MobileDay

Whilst Skype is great for calls with family and friends – it doesn’t exactly scream business and you may well find your face frozen in an awkward position if your Wi-Fi is a little spotty. Cue MobileDay, which is here to save the day. Use it to conference call colleagues and clients around the world. Compatible with WebEx, GoToMeeting and a whole range of other popular devices, it means that dream client is only ever a VoiP away.

1. Microsoft

These Microsoft apps are not like the days of old where you couldn’t do much beyond the most basic editing. No, the latest apps are chock full of advanced features that laugh in the face of their predecessors. Sadly, they haven’t quite made it to the iPhone yet, but you can certainly use these bad boys on your iPad 7 and iPad Pro.

1. Accounting

Whatever accounting app you are using, whether it be Xero or FreshBooks, they are all fantastically optimised, which means even when you are on the go you can make sure those client invoices are chased and paid.
