A list of twenty-five business changing apps is overwhelming. If you’re not sure of what apps are the most important to your business today, ask yourself, “What are the three biggest pain points of my business?”. For example, if your largest pain points are social media curation, task management, and your website not working properly then you would want to start using:

• Canva and Adobe Spark Post for social media content
• Brief for team collaboration and communication
• Squarespace for easy website solutions

What are your three biggest pain points and what apps seems to be the ultimate solve for you?
