[Definitive] Best Windows Phone apps


Recommended Posts

i use Pulse.. its updated now. .. still lags a bit. but what covers for the lag is the fact that the whole UI displays so much DATA at one time.. it makes up for the lag. there are 3 stories on each row... and 3 4 rows. with a pic. with text. and all the Feeds are downloaded in advance. so when u select one. its instant. its brilliant. it has reduced my time on the PC by about 1hour.. the time it took to get upto date with all the news feeds..

now i can do all that in under 5 minutes :D

Devs need to cut this US marketplace only BS, it's so easy to just release your app for every country the marketplace supports, I hate the fact I can't download most things because my live ID isn't a US one etc.

Hell even MS does this, I can't get the xbox live companion app either. FFS, Stop it already!

Is it possible that language is the problem? I probably wouldn't release an app in non-English speaking markets because I only speak English (unfortunately). Surely you wouldn't want the Greek Marketplace to be flooded with non-Greek apps.

It's MS who made one marketplace per country/region.

There is probably a very good reason behind that, because it's costing them much more money and windows 8 will be region free.

Apps specifically state the languages they support and already the Greek marketplace is mostly full of English only apps and games so that's not a factor.

Not really, when you send your app/game into the marketplace for certification and so on you pick which countries you want it to support, YOU YOURSELF can limit it if you want, so it's up to the dev not MS. Lots of apps could be US only, or just US, UK. I've also seen lots that are US, UK, France, Germany and so on. It's not a MS limit, or a region lock like on DVDs for example. All it is is developers setting it for US only or something.

The app is simple enough: drop some music into your Dropbox root folder, fire up the app, login and you're music will show up. You can then stream the music to your device, playing it in the background with ease.

The app fetches for $0.99 with a free trial if you want to give it a spin. It supports .WMV and .MP3 files, which should cover most people. Thanks, Ben H., for the tip!

Suggestion Box is a good one, it's an updated version of the My WP7 Idea app I've mentioned before. It allows you to post your ideas on what you would like to see in the next Windows Phone update.

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?

you mean something like talking tiger?

Btw, you guys should check out AppFlow, it has am amazing UI for discovering apps.

Also, does anyone here use YouTube pro? It's a great youtube app, it even integerates into the music hub history.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
