FOR IPHONE SHUTTERBUGS

IceCream

This handy app helps free up space on your phone, which you can fill with even more photos. Use IceCream as your

default camera and photo app, and the high-res photos are sent to the app’s secure cloud while smaller versions

remain on your iPhone. IceCream also tells users how much space is left, and how to share images with a private

network of contacts.

ADOPT SOME NEW APPS

BY JEN ALEXANDER

FOR THE BUSY-BEE PROFESSIONAL

Free Time 2

Between video conferences, play dates, weeknight games and yoga classes, do you wonder where all your free time

has gone? Download the Free Time 2 app and it will tell you. This app works with Microsoft Outlook, Google

and Apple calendars, showing you just where and how much free time you have. It also lets you share your availabil-

ity with selected contacts.

FOR THE ‘LET’S DO LUNCH’ CROWD

Reserve

If the stove in your home has never seen a hot pan, the free Reserve app is right up your alley. Use this concierge app

to gain access to tables at some of the most popular dining spots in the country. Select a partner restaurant, a time

slot for arriving, and the app makes the reservation and updates the user. Caveats? Just two—Reserve partners don’t

pay for the service, either, so they aren’t obligated to hold a table for Reserve customers, and no-shows are charged

anywhere from $10 to $25 by the app.

FOR THE WEEKEND ROAD-TRIPPER

Last Minute Travel

This free Android/iOS app lets you book flights, hotels and tour activities as well as view flights by price and stops;

map hotels by location; and peruse a section offering exclusive deals. Want to sail the seas in style? LMT’s family of

companies includes a cruise option.
