You can also input additional parameters, including duct shape, air temperature, and air pressure, and can view values in either English or metric units. You can also email your results to analyze them further on a computer. The app costs $5.99 for iOS 7.0 or later and for Android 2.1 and up.  

5. LinkedIn

Once you have finished training, you are ready to start looking for a job. The LinkedIn app allows you to manage your professional resume, contact potential employers, and save interesting jobs.
