Hi.
You can use the word 'gadget' as a substitute noun for any useful little tool, e.g. mobile phone, TV remote (control), bottle opener - "that's a handy little gadget."
Another similar word might be 'gizmo'.
These are both very informal terms.
'Apparatus' is what you might have in a science laboratory. It's definitely a more serious word (I hope that makes sense).
