I have just upgraded my phone to the s6 edge and wondering what android apps you use relevant to IT Techs. I'm happy for paid or free.
I currently have
Wifi 360 pro
Skype
msecure password manager

If it helps I work as a IT Technician in schools and help out family/friends.
Sorry if this has been asked before - couldn't find a search relating to specifically IT Tech apps.
Also if you know of an app to keep an inventory of computers. Like - when purchased, hardware, asset etc. We have computers that are all purchased at different years etc and not always easy to keep track and look up how old it is.

IPcalc for when I'm lazy
Wifi Analyzer

I don't find that I use my phone much for work besides email.

securebot and maybe inssider

Otherwise like voyager I'm probably already on my work PC since in a service provider network environment, most of your work is remote :p

Being a student IT technician at school I find the Office 365 Admin app really useful for managing Office 365 licenses/users. Admittedly I don't use it on Android (I use Windows Phone), but it's available for Android and iOS too. Great if you're managing Office 365 environments!

inSSIDer
WiFi Analyzer
Fing - Network Tools

WiFi Analyzer finds out the strength of the wifi signal around your house & finds out which neighbour's network is interfering with your wireless channel.

I'm pretty sure if we use it we know what it does :rolleyes:

I hardly use my Android phone as the company has provided me a Dell Latitude E5540 so when I am on the go I usually have my laptop. However for the few times I need to use my phone I have

Spiceworks (for ticket management)
JuiceSSH for the few RedHat servers we have
Microsoft RDP for our Windows servers (extreme situation)
default gmail client I have integrated with exchange

Thanks for suggestions. I'll check out some of them.
I am at my desk half the time but rest I'm walking around classrooms and my phone is what I have with me.

application used.

I will use

Pdf viewer = for me to view my pdf files stored in my mobile for quick access to guides, error codes and password.
email app = for me to access my email just in case i am working on site.
Unit converter = Sometimes i need to convert mb to gb especially for partitioning harddisk.
gps & maps = especially for searching client place when they are far away from town or remote areas
wifi hotspot = when i really needed to use my mobile internet to connect to my laptop.
:p
