I have both Machinist Buddy and FS Wizard Lite.
Both are no charge versions.
Machinist Buddy is more intuitive to use
(Top banner has Milling Turning Threading.... )
FS Wizard PRO ($$) has more features, as for machining the free version will only use A36HR, 4140, or 6061-T6.
I just find the little screen on my Galazy4 to be too hard to read, so I stick with CNCCookbook G-Wizard on the computer. Seems expensive, but then again a 3/4" solid carbide end mill isn't cheap, so I run tool calculations on the home machine.

I use RealCalc instead of my trusty Ti30Xs calculator. I have it on my android tablet and Motorola Droid Maxx phone. It's not a machinist-specific app, but a damned good calculator.
Other app I have is Machinist Helper Free Version 3.0.1, which I use to calculate RPM for a carbide insert milling cutter or turning tool, as I know the SFM rate I wish to run and with that it's pretty quick and fool (Ken) proof.

I know Sandvik do several free apps but I've not tried them.
