I was trying to find a free initiative-tracking Android app to use at the table, but I can't really find any at all on the store, not even for D&D, not even priced, which seems rather strange.
Add that the store randomly throws in a f**kton of crappy mobile games in the results pile, and every search I try is just a hellish trip.
Anyone using one already and can tell its exact name (hoping it's still available for download, if you've gotten it years ago).
The ideal at my table, just for the sake of saying it, would be an app that:
#1 keeps in memory the names you ask it to memorize (typically, the PCs), their Dex score and further initiative modifiers, and lets you exclude some of them (in case someone isn't participating), and add others (typically, the enemies and temporary allies);
#2 for each name participating, it rolls initiative, resolving ties with whoever has the highest total initiative modifier goes first (if it's further tied, whoever has the highest Dex, and if further tied, just go random) and sort them;
#3 has a button to advance the turn and round;
#4 allows you to add notes for effects, to set their durations, and to set on whose turn (at start or end) they take effect and/or have their durations reduced.
