So some people who have been with TechJA for a while may notice that alot of questions have been asked re-asked and re-re asked with the same answers as to which application to use to resolve an issue. The aim of this thread is to compile a list of these commonly mentioned apps. I will try to categorize them as best as possible. Some of these are linked to the software site itself and others are linked to discussions on the forum.
