gawrsh do you think any women will be there

I recently have been exploring this field more, and it seems the space is a little sparse, so I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Below are a few really useful and nifty ones that I've found, and show what I'm talking about :

LightTrac shows you the angle/time of sunlight throughout the day:

Sol is similar to LightTrac but has a different way of showing things at a glance:

General resource for photographers (DOF calc, etc) on Android:

The Photographer's Ephemeris has a desktop client, and allows you save and sync locations across a variety of platforms, and also has a really nifty interface for seeing the path of solar/lunar light in a given location:

Another nifty one:

"Uses GPS and magnetometer to find the correct solar position and path for your current location"

For cleaning up/deleting tons of pictures at once:

A community oriented location scouting app (!!!) really cool idea:

So, these are some that I use. Can y'all think of anything else that would be useful for a photog out in the field?

Some apps I use pretty often:

Expositor - https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/expositor/id315686714?mt=8
Helps you figure out correct exposure for given EV ranges. Handy when you're shooting without a light meter.

Reciprocity Timer - https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/reciprocity-timer/id459691262?mt=8
Helps you figure out correct reciprocity adjustments for various film stocks when taking long exposures.

Massive Dev Chart Timer - http://www.digitaltruth.com/apps/mdc/
Tells you how long to develop B&W film in various chemistry, and has a built in timer and volume calculator.
