The Dynatrace Community is all about technology, so there’s no better kind of a Community Challenge theme! This time, we’re asking you to share your favorite apps, either desktop or mobile!
What are these apps for? How do they help you with your daily routine? How long is the list of your favorites? What is the hottest discovery of the latest months? Feel free to share all of these details below!
Every participant receives a unique “Best App” badge that you’ll see in the Community profile next month, as well as 100 bonus points!
Let the February’s Community Challenge begin with my pick: I can’t count how many times Shazam helped me to save the title of tracks I’ve heard randomly. It’s the top of the top!
The best app for me is probably Slack. It allows me to stay in contact with my worldwide team wherever I am, and quickly see if anyone in the company has a question I can help out with.
Our mobile phones do so much amazing things!!! There are so brilliant apps out there.
I’m going for one that I like a lot. For how it helps me (a little) understand how aviation is so complex, though works so well, well most of the times And also for what is needed out there to make it work.
I’m passionate about sport and taking care of my own health. I effectively use several apps that are excellent in supporting me in gathering the necessary data and formulating conclusions for the future. Sometimes they also suggest some improvements to my exercises.
Garmin
Tracking my entire day and activities. I have a connected app with a watch and a bike counter. With the data from these devices, my trainer would not be able to accurately see my body’s training status, fatigue and plan my next training cycle. I used to use the Apple Watch for this, but the endless charging and lack of integration ruled it out.
TraningPeaks
A brilliant app for working with a trainer. As well as dedicated plans created by your coach, you’ll find loads of pre-made plans that will start to prepare you for marathons, triathlon or cycling. You can also use Strava at a less professional level.
TRX
The official app with TRX strap exercises. Everything you need for full-body strengthening exercises always with me. All you need to do is take the TRX bands and the app with you. You can do the workout anywhere and in any conditions - a door in a room or a tree is enough.
Waking up
Top of the top app to help you meditate. Living with the constant stress of my business and everyday life, I can’t imagine not having a moment to myself to dive deep into my own mind and disconnect from everything.
I use several apps on a daily basis:
- LinkedIn: The best social network to build a professional network 🖱
- Teams: To stay in touch with my colleagues and chat with them all the time. It’s less intrusive than using a “WhatsApp” type app, which is also used for “personal” conversations 🌍
- WhatsApp: This time for personal conversations^^ One of the first that allowed us to talk to friends all over the world without paying for “off-peak” calls on our phones. It has become a standard 😀
- “L’équipe”: French Sports news application, I’m totally addicted to sports news and I find the articles really serious compared to other news media 🎾 🏀 🏓 ⚽
- Banking application: PRO or PRIVATE, I can’t help but constantly check my bank balance. Nowadays I’d be hard pressed not to check my accounts at least once a day 😱
I used many sports/exercising apps in the past, but none stayed with me as long as the Down Dog app!
I’ve been an active user since December 2019, and this app precisely made me fall in love with yoga. 🧘
These are AI-generated yoga classes where you can personalize your practice time, yoga type, body part focus, music, level of advancement (I’ve started as a Beginner, never practiced yoga before, and the in-detail explanation helped me advance to intermediate 💪 ), the pace and so much more!
Highly recommended, in one subscription, you also get their meditation, HIIT training, and other apps. 😉
Desktop: Postman. I am lazy, and Postman understand that.
Mobile: Deezer. I know mostly like Spotify, but Deezer is the one which I could find mostly of my loved tracks, and it does allow me to upload those which are not there.
And also for what is needed out there to make it work.
:sweat_smile:
