What are your favorite sailing related apps?

What are your favorite apps? List the name, platform(iPhone, iPad, Android), what it does, notes:

Here's one I've used:

iNavX
  • Platform: iPhone
  • What it does: Noaa charts with waypoints and tracking, anchor alarm, ais alarm, add ons for Tides and Weather.
  • Notes: functional but not slick or beautiful. Had to download a lot of charts which takes time (do at home).
