What are the best military apps you're using?

I use a couple apps that assist me with being in the military. We are more and more dependent on our smart phones. Forcereadiness.com made some FM's in apps. I have the Infantry FM on my phone. I also use an Android app called US Military Pay Calculator. It will assist you with calculating you pay for those that are active and reserve with all of the extras pays in there, to include your BAH. The last one I use is called military awards. It basically makes a copy of your rack so you can put all of your ribbons in the right place.<div><br></div><div>What apps do you use and have they benefited you while being in the military?</div>

The Navy Career Counselor Website, that got migrated to NKO, had a retirement calculator to help determine what retirement to pick. It also was good to determine an estimate prior to retiring.

Great question, sir! My favorite app is called "Army PRT" by the U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute. It has a metronome for the slow, medium, and fast count, recommended PRT schedules and list of all PRT exercises, an APFT calculator and body composition tool, a run timer, and a downloadable FM 7-22.

Also, RallyPoint v0.1 for Android. It doesn't have the edit feature yet, but it's faster than accessing RP from my phone's browser (Firefox).

PushUp Warrior is a great App, one of the reasons why I still can knock out 100 push ups in 2 min. There are a few others out there that probably do just as well.

"Leader Book"  - You can generate reports on your soldiers in PDF format, and set notifications, i.e., when its about time to start monthly counseling's you will get a notification.  If you unlock the application ($5 IIRC) you can do unlimited soldiers/reports.  It covers DOR, blood type, MOS, counseling dates, APFT, Schools, Administrative info, Medical info as well as Personal Info (Family, etc).  I think its an awesome app!

As good as the Leader's book is I feel a small hard copy would be better. I mean you can't take your phone or tablet everywhere as it could get ruined by rain or other circumstances. I made my mine using a Flight check book, printed the pages in a smaller size and can write with erasable ink. If a Soldiers PSC's or ETS's just wipe the info and input the new one. I personally feel we need to steer away from all the tech things and stick to the old school by finding more usable portable ways.

The AG Corps has really embraced technology, when you go to ALC or SLC the Soldier Support Institute (SSI) will email you to download the app that has EVERYTHING from the welcome letter, student guide, pre-execution checklist, packing list, graduation requirements, study aids and an individual student assessment plan! This thing is AWESOME!

AGATW!

I found an as company called Kopis Mobile that makes an APP that automatically populated the DA 1306 Jump Manifest. The APP also tracks Jump Pay.

I would add Discount Soldier to the list. This app lets you find and share military discounts.

Guys, can anyone recommend a decent web development company to me? I'm planning to create a page related to the military, so I could really use some help.
