One app that I have used a lot is the desktop version of TPE. Unfortunately that is being EOL'd due to Google as of 2 Sep 2014.
I've tried the browser based version and it just isn't as good - it replaces the right side information bar with what is essentially advertising rubbish.
Not being a tablet owner, there is no desire/need for me to own the tablet version.
Are there any other apps out there that people use in its place?

What does EOL'd mean?
-
'End of Life'.

I’ve never used the desktop version, but I found the browser version to be minimally adequate and the iPhone version is really nice. I have no need for a tablet either, but the iPhone is a seriously useful tool. Besides TPE, I use Tide Graph, a DOF calculator, Pocket Universe and more. TPE in your pocket trumps TPE on your desktop any day.

I use TPE in my Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works very nice. The only problem I have is that sometimes the on-board compass does not seem to effect it so you can't line up North etc. I re-calibrate my compass using another APP. Anyone else run into this problem? How do you deal with it?

TPE on the iPhone here. Also SkySafari basic for the astro-landscape planning. I have not yet fiddled with PhotoPill. I have been using the compass app on the phone more, am taking notes (on the phone) about sites that I would like to revisit for sunrise/sunset shots, etc.
