Apple (iPad/iPhone) apps.
A search gave me nothing do I thought in would ask what if any are people's favorite apps that they use.
I use one called Chem solver, Molarity by sigma Aldrich which is the same as their website calculator, convert units and one called chem mobi.
I am always on the lookout for more.
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

I use the following applications ('apps', if you must) on my iPhone 4S—no, I didn't buy it myself; I'm poor. Of course, some of these will
be regional and/or specific to the United States.
<em><a href="http://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/">SciMad.org</a></em> (bookmarked to home screen, of course)
<u>Astronomy:</u>
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nasa-space-weather/id422621403?mt=8" target="_blank">NASA SWx</a> <img

src="../scipics/_ext.png" /> — <em>No!</em> You don't point the camera at the sun; don't be daft!
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cosmic-universe/id557877106?mt=8" target="_blank">Universe</a> <img src="../scipics/_ext.png"

— The best Periodic Table 'app' I've tried.
<u>Computational:</u>
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wolframalpha/id334989259?mt=8" target="_blank">WolframAlpha</a> <img src="../scipics/_ext.png"

src="../scipics/_ext.png" /> — Well worth the purchase. I use the resistor/capacitor code calculators constantly.
<u>Hearing Test:</u>

hearing.

I have others, of course, but they're not particularly relevant here, and they're fairly common. Here's a lazy list:
Paperless (bought it; highly recommend it), BBC News, MPR Radio (Minnesota Public radio), Radio K (local college radio station), Shazam (identifies
songs through microphone), Netflix, YouTube, Facebook (don't use it), OkCupid (haven't used it yet), Trail Explorer (Sierra Club thingy), REI
(Recreational Equipment Incorperated), Amazon, eBay, USPS Mobile, UPS, RedLaser, QRReader, Flickr (don't use it), Dropbox (don't really use it), Metro
Transit (Twin Cities bus/train schedules), Wells Fargo (banking), Gmail (duh!), Yelp (check local business hours)

A very good collection of organic reactions:
ReactionFlash
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reactionflash/id432080813?mt...
And a great collection of total synthesis:
Chemistry By Design
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chemistry-by-design-learning...
Both are free(:
I have a blog where I post my pictures from my work: http://labphoto.tumblr.com/
-Pictures from chemistry, check it out(:

For astronomy there is an awesome app(lication) for constellations, and current planet, relevant satellites and space-station coordinates.
I especially like how it will show you the orbit through the sky even looking towards the ground
