One thing I am missing I know of is a Document app. I was using SmartOffice, but this requires you to have access to the internet. I would rather not have to be on the internet all the time. And on occasion, it's not possible (middle part of West Virginia.

Google Docs for Android allows offline document creation and editing. You can sync your existing cloud files offline if/as needed.

If you have an Android device, what other suggestions of apps / tools / etc can you suggest.

Do you have any kind of system monitoring tool in place? PRTG has a spiffy Android app. I created a custom dashboard optimized for the display resolution of an old Android tablet and it makes a dandy little portable dashboard. Lives under my main monitor usually.

I don't have anything running PRTG - but that looks like a useful tool. Wonder if @scottalanmiller would approve it being used for NTG.

If you love free and open source, I highly recommend using F-droid instead of Google Play. They carefully filter what comes through their store. They frown on anything that has ads or anything that invades privacy.

My preference - open source and free.... We work in IT,.. not a gold mine.
