Tuning App

(I found this to be the best tuning app for students, parents, and myself. It has the option to change A frequency, contains a metronome, recording option, and finally shows wavelengths that could be useful for vibrato development.)

Metronome

Tempo for Android
Tempo for Iphone

(Clean look with many options for complex rhythms. Suggested for advanced players.)

Amazing Slow Downer

ASD for Android
ASD for Iphone

(Phenomenal tool for beginners studying Suzuki Books 1-3. You can slow down the piano accompaniment from an mp3 or itunes and have a personal pianist at your home every day. Great tool for improving intonation and rhythm!)
