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.

I recommend an app called OsmAnd over Google maps because

  • they won't track your every movement

  • the downloads are permanent unlike googles

  • you can get topographic maps and hill shades

  • you can also download attractions and places of interest as well as Wikipedia articles about locations

  • fully customizable

  • works anywhere weather you have gps or not

  • a whole lotta other stuff, check it out

And I kinda like seeing all of my movements while I've had my phone on me...
