For iOS I've found the following to be superb:

Observer Pro - THE best tool for planning your view sessions

Scope Nights - weather forecasts aimed as astronomy

AstroAid - DSO planning, for judging FOV/EP choice (covers all M, IC, NGC and Caldwell objects - with images for each and every one)

Scope Help - basic calculations, but useful (e.g. as GPS, sidereal time) - free too

SkySafari Pro - excellent planetarium/star chart, especially when you want to know what to expect in a deep field

Stellarium - Useful for getting your 'eye in' on the sky before you go out

SkyQ - decent for ephemeris, and I often use it as a replacement for my hand control in driving my 8SE
