Can anyone point me to the best Android Apps for Warhammer 40K?

I'm particularly interested in reviews and comments from anyone that uses the apps. I have heard about a dice rolling app and that sounds pretty useful depending on how many dice it lets you simulate at a time (as well as including scatter die).

However, is the random number generator reliably random?

I use ToF Psychic Phase to get a better understanding of the chances to cast my powers.

Battlescribe is the only other app I need.

People seem to have an issue against rng done by a computer, they don't trust it when you roll well and others want to be responsible themselves for bad rolls.

Dice rollers have their places, I used to play a guy who ran 20 Khorne Bezerkers and was more than willing to let him use an app rather than rolling our 40 dice 3-4 times in a row. They do save time on massive rolls. They're no substitute for 'normal' dice, though, as to me, playing without dice would kill the suspense somewhat.

The only way to trust a dice-roller is to test it out. If it has a log with stats, fire it off for a few hundred rolls, and see what happens.

I use Nook for ebook versions of the GW books.
Also, Battlescribe for quick lists.
Everything else is just easier with the usual tools.
Scatter dice, etc aren't used all that often, but I'd like to see a AR app that overlays blast markers if there is one. Lay the 'target' marker on the table, and point the camera at it. Press 'Fire!' and let it show you what you hit.
Not that there is one, (or, is there?) but still.

I love my dice, but a dice rolling app would come in handy when I have one of my IG blobs (51 models) shooting with rapid fire and FRFSRF.

What about the good old mathhammer - is that still around?
