Apps that are good to have:
Uber or Taxify - Great option for transportation, you can choose to rent a car or a Bajaji when there is alot of traffic.
M-pesa App - You should definitely get a mobile wallet if you are planning to stay longer than 3 months.. All Carriers have mobile wallet but most popular are Vodacom M-pesa and TIGO - TIGOpesa.
Perks of having a Mobile wallet:
SAFER - You don't runt around with cash and can withdraw at almost any store in any corner during morning up to midnight.
EASIER - To quickly transfer money to anyone even if it's just transport money.
ESSENTIAL - Buying electricity (LUKU) Topping Up, Pay you water bills etc etc Can even be used at restaurants to pay for your dinner 
REBTEL - Calling abroad, this app is cheap and amazing! Beats out Facebook and watsapp. Cheap calls that are direct line to line. You will thank me later!
For accommodation I would say ZoomTanzania but don't trust everything you see, make sure to find a trusted agent that will provide you with the best deals.
That's all I could think of for now, For any questions feel free to PM me!
Karibu Tanzania
