We’ve previously written about How to Get COVID-19 Loans for Your Small Business and want to continue that trend by discussing the best small business apps for dealing with COVID-19. They include everything from keeping up with COVID-19 to connecting with your team.
1. Best Small Business Apps for Dealing with COVID-19 and Tracking: CDC
The Centers for Disease Control has up to date information on all the statistics surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The General Public app is available on the Apple store as well as the Google Play store. It contains authoritative and up to date statistics on the pandemic. You can also find expert advice about how best to protect yourself and others from infection.
Thanks to the current lack of readily available testing in some areas, the app also provides a self-checker for the coronavirus if you’re not feeling well. It’s not intended to offer a diagnosis; instead it provides a simple Q&A to help you identify if you might be infected.
They also have a ton of other health related apps including:
- DentalCheck for dental health.
- BAM! Dining Decision to help you make smart food choices.
- Health IQ to test your knowledge in several ranges of difficulty.
- Milestone Tracker – Track the progress of your child from two months old all the way up to five years.
- TravWell – get plans for safe travel locally and internationally.
- Most apps are free to download.

2. Best Small Business App for Working From Home: Remote PC
Get access to your work computer from your home or anywhere in the world with this app. Don’t let the name fool you. You may also access your Apple computer with this app using a PC and vice versa. Unlike the competitors such as TeamViewer and GoToMyPC, this app offers a simple interface that allows you to work seamlessly. The file manger is easy to use and the cost is right if you don’t want to display more than one monitor in the same window.
3. Best Video Conferencing App: Zoom
Unlike Skype and FaceTime, Zoom is designed for all devices from Microsoft to Mac. They have a bunch of free and paid options to allow you and a whole team to meet at your leisure. The quality of calls is good and most likely all of your clients are using it as well.
4. Best Communication App: Slack
Can’t find the time to sort through emails, texts, etc to communicate with your team? Have them all join Slack to send and receive messages on one, easy to use platform. They have everything from free to paid plans that allow you to access your message history, integrate with apps like Office 365 and Google Drive, and even conduct one to one video calls.
