In the camera bag, mobile edition

It would be interesting to know what apps and accessories people are using for their mobile photography?

With 250+ photography related apps on my phone these are the apps and accessories that I find to be the essential ones that I always go to:

645 Pro
Great camera app and one of the only apps that save in uncompressed TIFF
http://jag.gr/645pro/

Hipstamatic
One of the most popular iPhone camera apps, people either love it or hate it because you really need to know what you want the final look of the photo to be before you shoot it.

Snapseed
One of 4 editing apps that I use and the one I probably use the most, made by Nik it has control points like their Photoshop add ins.

Handy Photo
One of the newest editing apps I use and has some of the most unique tools in an editing app, with its Handy Crop feature, the Retouch and Clone Tool and the Move Me tool.

PS Touch
Another very full function editing app, its big feature is that it is integrated with Adobe Creative Cloud.

iPhoto
An editing app that uses layers and has some really effective brush tools.

Perfectly Clear
An intelligent image correction app that has the best noise correction that I've ever seen on any app.

Big Photo
A photo resizing app.

And on the video side

Filmic Pro
The most professional, feature rich, video app on the market.

iSuper8
Sometimes you just want your video to look like your vacation in 1972, ask this years documentary Academy Award winner who needed retro shots but ran out of cash and finished it with his phone.

iMovie
Best movie production app out there for mobile photography, video clipping tools, transitions, audio tracks and much more, make a polished video ready for YouTube
http://www.apple.com/apps/imovie/

Eye-Fi
This is the app for the Eye-Fi card which brings me to the hardware items I find to be really useful. First the Eye-Fi card, it gives your camera a way to communicate with your phone. Now you can edit and post your shots on the fly.

The Pocket Spotlight
From Photojojo, it's a surprisingly powerful mini LED panel for a bargain price.

The SlingShot
Stabilizer handgrip and tripod in one

Camera+ because in their updates they would have hardware shutter then they would lose in because Apple would get persnickety, then they would get back again, I use the earphones as a shutter remote a lot and without it renders a camera app useless for my purposes.
