Dear Student,

Read the short text below. Then, complete the table with the specific information requested.
Text: "App Categories and Their Core Functions"
Productivity apps are designed to enhance efficiency. For example, 'Trello' uses a system of boards and cards for project management, helping teams visualize workflow. Communication apps, like 'Slack', reduce email clutter by organizing conversations into dedicated channels. A significant challenge for many users is 'notification fatigue' – the stress caused by constant alerts from multiple apps. Meanwhile, personal finance apps such as 'Mint' aggregate data from bank accounts to track spending, but they require users to share sensitive financial information, raising privacy concerns.
