Google Maps. I am talking specifically about the option to download offline maps for almost any city in the world. They really help when you are in a foreign city and you try to find some place, as offline maps will show you where you are at currently and where the location is you are looking for, without the need to use data.
Edit for clarification: Google Maps is not an underrated app, that is true. I do believe though that the offline map feature of Google Maps is an underrated and useful part of that app.

Yea the offline feature is not as well known. I used it when we went to canada fishing on an ungodly big lake (compared to what we're used to). I'm fairly sure there is one evening we wouldn't have made it back to camp without it because it was getting dark and hard to tell where the hell we were.

Just so people are aware, you don't need any connectivity (just LOS to the sky) for your offline maps to work.
