Default Quilting apps for smart phones?

I now have a smart phone and would love to have a few quilting apps to add to my phone. Do you have
an app that you would recommend?

QuiltCalc From Robert Kaufman, does calculations for you - square in a square, setting triangles, cutting yardage for any size piece, binding yardage. And best of all, it's free!

Thanks, Krista I just downloaded that thanks to your recommendation. Looks like just what I was hoping to find.

Some other apps you might want to check out:
Discount Calc
Hobby Lobby (individual stores have their ads/coupons online. No more clipping. They swipe your phone.)
Michael's
Jo-Ann
Quilting Daily
If you shop a lot try shopkick (at least check it out to see if it will work for you)

I use Block Tool and Quilt Calc the most. Most of the apps aren't that useful so don't buy one without checking the reviews and screen shots first.

Quilter's Helper is a good one. It's only $.99 and helps keep up with projects, supplies and I think can even add photos. It's a droid app. There's also floss checklist that also includes several quilting threads as well.

Good luck and enjoy that smart phone!
