    Any good solutions for filing receipts ?

    The box of Bunnings dockets etc is becoming a problem - would like to take a photo of them and file them on the cloud.

    Is Camscanner and Dropbox the best solution (I've used neither) ?

    I use pocket book too. It picks up every transacts from all my cards. Has really helped me work out actual expenditure, especially for all the little incidental ones.

    Have been using stocard too.

    PDF expert good for editing and highlighting PDFs.

    Norton ID safe is brilliant for storing all passwords

    I've used Evernote - take photo of your receipts in Evernote. You can have a folder fo receipts. Evernote is also searchable for all words within documents too.

    These are my frequent apps.
    Please let me know if you have a better app which is used for similar purpose.

    There are few odd ones I like:
    storeCard - saves wallet space. Keep all loyalty cards
    colorNote - Simple note taker/ to do
    JStock - Lovely stock portfolio
    FitNotes - Simple gym tracker

    Alternatively, if you are using Chrome, you can create a short cut. Go to page from which you want to create the short cut, click on the menu (3 dots arranged vertically, top RHS) and select the option "Add to Home Screen".

    It's still good to be nice to Simon however.

    Just got this email from TomTom. But Google maps does a good job already 99% of the time?

    I am sure one time our TomTom wanted us to drive our car through Lane Cove National park from South Turramurra to Epping. For anybody not familiar with the area, it’s not a road for the public to use for their cars. So, TomToms might not always help there either. Was it us who stuffed up or the TomTom? I don’t know but I guess mishaps sometimes happen.

    I haven't used TomTom in years. For most things I simply use Google Maps, but I also use Waze at times too - and have contributed to map updates on Waze in the past.

    The main products of TomTom have become redundant really. And free Google Maps does pretty much everything TomToms do.

    My daughter would find a TomTom device very useful. She's on P plates, and in Victoria, she's not allowed to use a phone, even on a fixed holder. But she is allowed a GPS device.

    Though due to budgetary constraints, she's using Google Maps with spoken directions, which is just adequate, but leads to problems at times.

    should consider one

    Our IT manager suggested Lastpass for this - works ok for me.

    Yes, 1Password was on my list. It's pretty much the first thing that gets installed on any device I have.
