Recommended Apps for Gamers / Game Masters?

[Helaman]

I found Dicebag, RPG Roller and GameBuddy for dice rollers all of which are free and all of them number generators... but anyone else got any iphone or other device applications (paid or otherwise) they can recommend for gamers or games masters?

Herolab is great for creating characters and villans. It's regularily updated with all the paizo books.

Hexographer is great if you want to design your own maps and works on any PC that uses java.

I have and love (except for the editor) Herolab. I've not used PCGen in a while, but I can edit better with it.

I've a die roller on my phone that will be great for 'hidden' rolls when (if) I DM again. Use the clatter of dice for paranoia, the (silent) Ap for 'real' dice rolls

I like dicenomicon for my iPad when I'm running a game. It's not free, but it is a really cool app. I love HeroLab but since laptops are not really welcome where I play, I am eagerly awaiting the HL iPad app if it ever comes out.

Micha's Jingle-Player is fantastic. Gives you a bunch of hot keys for sound effects. Creepy bats, squeaking door, whatever...

I'll also give a shout to Obsidian Portal. Let the player's help create the world, why not?

Here's an example:

I use a iPod Touch at the table with no internet connection:

• Summoner ($1.99): Allows you to manage your summoned creatures
  
• Spellbook ($1.99): Quick lookup of spells. This is a replacement to spell cards. (Core+APG at the time of this post)
  
• PFR ($4.99+$1.99+$1.99): Off-line Pathfinder Reference Document; good search; allows you to copy web pages and run them view them off-line (Core+APG+GM at the time of this post)
  
• iBooks (Free): View PDFs
  
• FastPDF (Free): Backup PDF reader
  
• PDFReaderLite (Free): Backup to the Backup PDF reader
  

I like having multiple PDF readers to switch between apps. I create alot of custom PDFs using a free Windows program called PDF reDirect (Freeware); allows you to print from multiple programs and organize the print jobs into a single PDF.

Once I get an iPad2 I'll probably get Goodreader ($4.99).

I'm researching now trying to find a good application to manage a character on the iPad.

Get GoodReader for your iPod Touch anyways. I'm in much in the same realm as you harmor with an Touch 3rd Gen and now my iPad 2. You may be double dipping but IMO GoodReader on a Touch is equally worth it. Although I guess you could use iFile which is universal. Part of the reason GoodReader is so good is that it does way more then PDFs. Especially inter-device transfers without needing iTunes as an intermediary. I bring up iFile as another file system replacement App. Both iFile and GoodReader act as my hubs for data on my iOS devices (more so on the iPad but still). Frequently I'm using WebDAV features to send and retrieve data between my iOS units as well as computers.

I'd like to get more use of Dicenomicon but it's such a programmery interface it makes it hard sometimes. Also I think we need to get a collation of Pathfinder dicenomicin users to get together and pound out an XML sheet.
