You missed one that editors love for the Android called AOTG 2.0. It’s a aggregation tool for film editing news, videos, etc. Quite useful.

Just discovered Adam Wilt’s new Cine Meter app available on itunes.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cine-meter/id590364679?mt=8
Cine Meter gives you an RGB waveform monitor and a false-color picture in addition to a cine-style light meter, using the camera in your iPhone / iPod / iPad.
