Here are a quick top 4 iOS apps that we think you’ll appreciate:

Evernote – Have you ever forgotten where you put a little note? Maybe you scribbled something in wordpad and forgot to save it. Evernote syncs with your mobile device and computer, so you’ll never forget or lose your notes. It also allows you to set to-do lists, and more.
