PushBullet

There is a featured app on Apple app store, though available on android, called PushBullet.  The unique part of this app is the cross operating system compatibility.  You can receive notifications and send files between all devices with the app.  For instance, I can send files from my Galaxy phone to my MacBook or IPad seamlessly.   You can also see phone notifications on other devices while away.

I find this convenient because I use Galaxy phones and Apple products elsewhere.  I can share photos or memos, see what is incoming on other accounts, and and stay up to date on all devices. 

It has a windows version as well, so you folks who are scared of other formats are safe too.  One caution, know that if you are using the app in a public display or presentation machine, a pop up from other accounts, including emails or calls, can show up.  Be sure to check and understand your settings. 

In all, I enjoy the flexibility of what is essentially a version of Mac Air Drop between platforms.  Try it and tell me what you think.
