What apps are available? Pros and cons of each? At the least, I need to organize images of my coins on my phone.

I guess I am old school. I try to use programs I am familiar with instead of continuing to add app after app.
I simply use Excel. I had already kept info on certs, grade, and cost. So I simply added a live link to access my photos in One Drive.
Pros - free if you already have Excel and use OneDrive.
Was little effort to "upgrade" my spreadsheet
Cons - probably not as user friendly as a fancy app
You need basic spreadsheet skills
Must be able to connect to the cloud. (Sometimes impossible in coin show venues).
I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone has a better idea.

Similarly, this isn't an app, but I use Excel. You can embed live links into Excel spreadsheets and these can easily bring up images of coins, if that is the desire. Also, there is no need for connection to the cloud or the internet if you also have the images on your device.

Dropbox for Images.
You can also sync Excel spreadsheets through Dropbox so they are accessible on your phone

Can't beat Excel for simplicity. Print out a hard copy for a binder. I need to keep things simple at this stage in my life!

Excel. I haven't linked my pics yet, but I plan to.

I use PCGS's "My Inventory". It's simple, free, always online, collects all important data (including images) and you can generate a CSV file (comma-separated values) for importing into a spreadsheet, if desired.
It also allows you to easily populate registry sets, digital albums, etc.

I like Collective Coin. They don't care whose slab (or if any) you have.
The PRIVATE notes.....are.
And pictures are drag and drop.
Coors, a database backup is nice, too. And your OWN picture files.
I made my database from Works.
