[Definitive] Best Windows Phone apps


Recommended Posts

I don't know why everybody miss RealTube. It allows you to watch videos from YouTube, DailyMotion, MSN Videos, Funny or Die etc. in HD quality.

I tend to use YouTube the most so I use HTCs YouTube App

I bought Remote Desktop.

It does allow you to view your pc but it has limitations:

1. It's really slow even on wifi.

2. You have to move the screen around, you can't move the mouse around it sticks in the middle of the screen.

I don't think phones are ready for this feature yet, maybe tablets with 4G but I can't do anything really productive using it so for £11.50 it's to expensive.

Lazytube does youtube video's well for me but the subscriptions doesn't work for me but the favs do. But Realtube does play it in HD quality unlike Lazytube.

^ 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.

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

I'll be trying it out in London this Friday so that will be the real test.

The official Flickr app has been upgraded to 1.1 today which also brings Picture hub intergration. Now you can directly upload pictures from the hub right to flickr without starting the app.

The rest of the update covers a performance boost and also adds tag support.

It got me through this weekend in London just great! Needs bus support as well as support for the thames riverboat services, because without it it's not really London Travel, it's London Underground/DLR, but it's a great little app. Oyster balance on live tile would be nice as well.

The route planner has support for Bus and Coach, Riverboat, Tram, DLR and Overground Rail services as well.

Worked really well for me as well, I was able to plan my route from the train station where I live to the underground station near my destination.

My mate has an iPhone4 and has a cool (stupid really) app, called talking tom cat .. or something like that. I've had a quick look, but from what I can tell - it's only available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Anyone know if it (or something similar) is available for WP7?

Well, I'm going to put the ones I'm using and liking for now:

Adobe Reader

Shazam

Translator (Microsoft)

Weather (Microsoft)

World Clock (Microsoft)

Youtube (HTC)

But I have to say....I'm waiting for a better Translator. I didn't like English > Chinese > English. :/ But then again, IRL it's difficult to translate, nevertheless.

These are my personal favorites :

ilomilo the game. Really simple but addictive game.

QFT. XD

MyComic

just know it from a friend, we love it very much.

and it's definetely one the best Free app in my phone.

I found someone test it:

http://mobilitydigest.com/my-comic-free-photo-caption-app-for-wp7/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FuzeMobility+%28Fuze+Mobility%29

Oh yeah, I'm testing it out too and liking it! I wonder if they will improve though.

It's perfect for a crazy person like me, I like to doodle on the photos with photoshop and tah dah! There's this version to WP7.

But I have to say....I'm waiting for a better Translator. I didn't like English > Chinese > English. :/ But then again, IRL it's difficult to translate, nevertheless.

Why not try Polyglot, I use that now rather than the Translator app that Microsoft put on the marketplace.

after using birdsong, beez only has the live tile thing going for it. once birdsong starts having the live tile i'll switch over.

- ztitch is pretty awesome, create panoramic photos

- windows phone news, weaves all wp7 news in one app much easier

- voice recorder, great app

- scoremobile, once it gets push/live info it'll be more awesome

- handyscan, comes in handy at times

- realtube, better youtube app doesn't find all the videos though

- tv show alert, doesn't load what a waste of my money (for some reason these tv show apps never work)

Some have very similar functions, but I don't mind.

*trying out the trial version* Till now, sounds good to me! :D Thanks. I'll put some more difficult words afterwards....*evil laughter* Maybe Japanese too....

Another one that I'm trying when I'm bored at parties or waiting for my friends:

Svasti = rating 4.0 of 5.0

It's not the most useful app but it's fun and it's free so...downloaded it. It got those cute chinese motif style, the type I like. It's sort of prediction thing, to see if you'll have luck with your friends today, or family, or money etc. The down side of this program: I'm not sure if it's very accurate. XD

TuneIn Radio has made the hop from iOS to Windows Phone 7. The app supports over 40,000 AM and FM radio stations that also stream over the web, with the stations characterised by genre or searchable by call letters. Even better, as long as the station is broadcasting RDS information, TuneIn Radio will search it to see if the station is playing the song you want to hear.

Cocktail Flow has to be the best looking app so far. Its usefulness is to be debated, but the design is gorgeous!

My LG Optimus 7 (and other LG owners) can download some great apps which are free from the LG Apps Store:

- Cocktail Flow

- Weather & Clock

- Today

- Toolbox. It has Level, Date calculator, Flashlight, Unit converter and many more.

My favorite and most used apps are:

- Weather Bug

- IMDB

- Shopping List

- Facebook. The official app is awesome

I haven't tried Lazytube but I will try soon as other have pointed out the ability to watch HD content from it.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
    • Loading Topaz Photo AI freezes my system since this update...
    • I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
