Mainly for Taipei, but Bus Tracker App is the best for public transportation--it gives directions via bus and MRT. It also has a map with all the YouBike stations.
Pleco is another good one for helping with Chinese characters.

Yes, Bus tracker app is very useful if you are frequently using public transportation. Other useful apps are - Line (local whatsapp), PCHome if you want to to do online shopping, interface is not english 
; Costco app is good to check out online items; Eat Drink Taipei is a good one for local food guidance; google translate is a lot more powerful with many cool features to translate SMS/webpage content from chinese to english; Taiwan Weather app gives very close prediction;
