[Definitive] Best Windows Phone apps


Recommended Posts

This one isn't out at the moment, but I use it on my Android Handset, Kindle for WP7 looks pretty good.

Anyway I have these apps, some may be duplicating functionality I already have on the HD7 but i'm looking at which one has the best functions:

Adobe Reader

Attentive Phone (HTC)

Facebook

Flashlight (HTC)

Groceries (Tesco, Allows my to order Groceries on the go, UK only)

ITN News

KAYAK

Last.FM

Level (Microsoft)

Lists (HTC)

London Tube

Ministry Of Sound

My WP7 Idea (Great App for suggesting WP7 features you want, a little sluggish but refreshes every time you load it)

Notes (HTC)

Poynt

Shazam

Shopping List (Microsoft)

SteamCommunity

Stocks (Microsoft)

Tesco Real Food

Translator (Microsoft)

Unit Converter

Waterstones (Great app for ordering books, UK only)

Weather (Microsoft)

World Clock (Microsoft)

Youtube (HTC)

There is a new youtube app out called lazytube.

It has your subscriptions and your fav videos, you can also post comments. It looks OK but I would still like to see Microsoft take an attempt at a youtube app. I've just bought it and it doesn't include your video's yet or thumbs up and down but the free app before it was updated often.

cardstar - awesome (storing membership numbers and it has the matching barcode!)

Anyone own a WP7 device and live in Greece like me? I wanna know if they're able to actually buy apps from the marketplace or not.

i believe they just created an application that enables this... check out wmpoweruser.com

I managed to get the xbox 360 version before it went live and thought it was brilliant, recently bought the WP7 version as well.

Since this is about apps, there's a Ustream client out now it seems.

ustream app has been out for a while in the US (since launch) and its utter crap.. have they fixed anything? don't see an update for mine.. i've only been able to watch a few shows, it mostly fails or won't watch anything at all - never been able to see anything live, just pre-recorded.

Pageone looks awesome, be great if we had something similar that wasn't crappy, in the UK :)

These are my personal favorites :

ilomilo the game. Really simple but addictive game.

London Tube. A simple app to check the Tube Status for London, plus has a station search and map.

TouchXplorer. A really pretty and functional File manager. ( Only works with Dev phones though )

Twitter, IMDB, Flixster and Facebook apps, obviously.

And Wordlist. A Vocabulary builder for entrance exams like GMAT etc. ( DISCLAIMER : I really like this app because I developed this myself! I don't intend to be sneaky. :-) And yes, it's a Paid app. :-( )

^ I would say London Travel is better. It has live departure boards and oyster balance. Plus it looks better and works faster. It's ?1.99 though. But I would say it's worth it.

agreed, I used to have London Tube installed but found London Travel was much better, the latest update added a route planner as well.

Thanks guys... :-) I'll give London Travel a shot.

I've been using BringCast - can download from the app without syncing. Excellent app, and multiple downloads will be available in next update I'm told from the developer.

ScoreMobile got released and it is by far the best sport app out there. Live tile scores and push notifications are in the works I've heard from the developer also.

Slickdeals is okay (3/5). Can't really get to the website when I click on a deal.

Tile Notes - (4.5/5) - You can put a stickie as a tile on your home screen - very useful!

Bing Splash - 4/5 - displays the bing image of the day as a tile

New Media Volume Manager app, I haven't tried it yet queued up for d/l when my phone syncs again later tonight but they say it works well. Lets you set the media volume for games, etc which should also leave things like ringer and alarm alone.

This is good for me since I want music/vids and games lower than the ringer/alarm volume.

    • Sure is a shame that Google spent all of its efforts on maximizing milking ###### ad revenue instead of actually improving their once ubiquitous and best-in-class search engine with, say, a useful AI that could actually improve search results... /S
    • The blatant anti-competitive nature of the EU's DMA rules are obscenely IRONIC and wholly damaging to upwards innovations from within the EU. Why?! Because it penalizes marketplace competitors whom the users CHOOSE to sign contracts with (basically dictating the product management models and strategies whilst handicapping popular marketplace choices) all under the guise of 'fair competition' and assuring continued operations. The only beneficiary (as the DMA is written and applied) are the toxic wannabes with whom most consumers have chosen to NOT do business with! What kind of bass-ackwards nonsense is that?! Not everyone in the marketplace that's lower-ranked deserves some sort of advantage whilst being otherwise garbage and toxic. Ugh, so dumb.
    • Assetto Corsa Competizione, House Flipper 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings in three games for Xbox players to try out, and they are House Flipper 2, Blades of Fire, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Unlike in recent weeks, no games from this selection are being offered without a Game Pass subscription this time. This means only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can jump into the three titles, even if they are single-player. From the trio, House Flipper 2 is for simulation fans. The title lets you buy run-down properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. A sandbox mode even lets you build houses from scratch too. Next, Blades of Fire lands as a fantasy adventure that combines metroidvania exploration with punishing combat. One unique aspect is that instead of finding loot, you'll be physically forging your own weapons. Lastly, we go back to simulators with Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the hit racing title offering a hardcore, highly competitive racing game focused entirely on GT3 and GT4 class cars. Everything from the tracks and tire physics to the dynamic weather conditions are focused on giving players an authentic driving experience. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: House Flipper 2 (Xbox Series X|S) Blades of Fire (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 28, at 11:59 pm PT.
