There is no such thing as the "perfect" resume. You should always be looking to improve yours and customize it for whatever position you are applying for. Getting your resume in quick when a job opens is key to being seen, however, so you don't always have time to get back to your home or office, sit down at a computer, and edit your resume. The longer it takes you to submit your resume, the more likely it is that you are at the back of a long line of applicants. That's why, in the modern world, it is vitally important to be able to update your resume on the fly, from anywhere. Job Hunting is now more mobile than ever before, so having access to a great resume app on your phone can give you a significant leg up.
These apps are great and will allow you to access your resume, update it, and work towards crafting the best version of it for any given job no matter where you might find yourself.
