What are your favorite apps for RV life?

I have "Allstays Camp and RV" on my Android. It has a few issues but overall pretty good.

What are some of your favorites?

I like All Stays as well and will add these:

...Gas Buddy (gasbuddy.com) for gas prices ...finding Costco ...CampWhere
 Used to a lesser degree is RoadTrip. Now I mostly use it to store data on the RV until I find something that does a better job.  Looking more for a maintenance program that will track oil changes and other service items as well as keep track of places I camped.  RoadTrip will do that but I find it sometimes difficult to use.  It may be a good program for someone that wants to pay closer attention to data entry than I am willing to do.

I have GasBuddy also.
 What I like about Allstays Camp and RV is that it includes finding a Costco among many other filter searches. What I don't like is that the icons shrink so tiny when I zoom in that it is difficult to read or select them even on my 5" Galaxy S4. I emailed them this morning alerting them of this problem.

On my Android device I use:

CoPilot Live Premium USA.  Offline, turn-by-turn navigation.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.copilot.namarket.premiumusa

CSipSimple soft phone.  VOIP can be a lot cheaper than cell service, and I've been in places with good WiFi but no cell service.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple

ezPDF Reader Lite.  I try to keep on the Android device a copy of every PDF I might need, for example the Ford Owner's Guide.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=udk.android.reader.lite

First Aid.  With a shortcut on the home screen.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usa.health.ifitness.firstaid

GPS Navigation & Maps +offline, aka Skobbler.  $1 for Open Street Maps of the U.S.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skobbler.forevermapng

GPS Status & Toolbox.  Shows what's happening as a GPS fix is acquired, and also has a compass, level, and light meter.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

Hi Tide.  Tide calculator.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.badbasenji.app.hitide

Pimlical Advanced Calendar.  Calendar that has floating, repeating events, with an option to reschedule the repeat from the checkoff date.  For example, I can schedule a reminder to test the smoke detector every 30 days.  If I don't do it on the day the reminder appears, I see the same reminder until I check it off, then it's automatically rescheduled for 30 days after I check it off.

Smart Distance.  Uses the camera to measure distances.  It's not extremely accurate, but can be useful.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.sira.distance

Smart Measure.  Uses the camera to measure the height of an object.  Again, not extremely accurate.
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.sira.measure

Sun Surveyor.  Shows the path of the Sun through the sky.  I mostly use it for photography, but also to figure out in which direction to park when there's a choice.

Two Touch Timer Full.  Countdown timer.

I'm still looking for a good checklist app.

We hike a lot and I have looked for a good GPS hiking app. Tried several and settled on Back Country Navigator. They have a trial version which does not include integration with Accuterra Maps. I was looking for good detailed topos and I got them with this.
