This one probably isn't going to be useful by a lot of people, it's mostly for people within the United States and Canada who do a lot of traveling kind of a niche but it is an official app by the government and I think for those of you who could use it, it'll be very useful.

What it does is you take your passport info and your personal info and you can load it all into the app and then that way, you're going through customs and you have to declare all the items you're bringing. You can basically put in all the info ahead of time, answer the survey questions and then that way you can skip the line and go right to the inspection if you get chosen for an inspection. I'm not 100% sure how it works but you can skip all the stuff that you can just do on your phone.
 
The nice thing about it is you don't have to apply and get approved to use it or anything like that, it's just free. No approval required, so it's a little bit better if you don't have Global Entry which is something else entirely and I'm not gonna get into that.

This app is pretty cool if you don't really travel often enough to use Global Entry but you still want to use it if you're going to be traveling between the countries.

This App is actually made by Google and it basically allows you to manage data usage especially if you have a limited data plan. It allows you to not only see which apps are using the most data but it will also allow you to restrict those apps from using any data at certain times and it will also allow you to connect to trusted Wi-Fi easier.

It gives you several different options for saving data usage and even if you don't want to limit data usage, it still would be useful to be able to track data usage with different apps. You can also use this with the data saver feature which is built into the latest versions of Android and that will actually allow you to restrict data usage and disable background data usage all together at certain times.

You can choose to have exceptions for certain apps if you want to let them through and you can allow that to be toggled on and off so if there are times when you want to limit it specifically, this app allow you to turn it on and off and if you go to the section called manage data options, it will actually not only tell you which apps are using the most data but even what times most data was being used.
