Can anyone recommend a good charting app for options?

You can start here
Option Vue
There is also:
XLQ ... but you would have to customize your own charting with that one.

Last but not least, QuoteLink allows you to develop spreadsheets with streaming data using IQFeed.

I use Edutrader. It's easy to use but not as powerful or as customizable as other setups. If money was no object i would look at Optionvue for option analysis and Metastock for TA.

There are several sites online that give you this in a web browser. http://finance.yahoo.com for instance.
You can also get a free PaperMoney account with ThinkOrSwim which will give you delayed quotes on all of the options TOS has (stock/index plus some futures options)
I know a few people using TOS PaperMoney accounts to manage their positions but use other brokers for trade execution.

Think or Swim's (ToS) charting is a lot of bang for the buck (free w/ your brokerage account) - especially w/ the new release which puts "Charts" and "Prophet" under one menu.
The new "Flexible Grid" is nice in that it allows you to simultaneiously view the movement of the underlying vs. the option. Both "Charts" and "Prophet" provide dozens/hundreds of formatting and superimposed study combinations.
Be advised that historical data in "Charts" are actual stock prices while that in "Prophet" is dividend-adjusted, as are MSN & Yahoo data feeds, respectively.

Optionsoracle is pretty good too. Just ran across this and it has a lot of nice bells and whistles: http://www.samoasky.com/
