Our 20 Favorite Apps For Your Windows Phone 8 Device

[Spooderman]

I'm looking forward to getting a Windows based phone sometime soon now that they smoothed the experience a bit. Also, I really don't mind the slideshow format, as it's smooth for me and easy to read.

I'm not actually sure if you need to use Shrink Storage. Sure the "Other" category tends to bloat up, but when I started to install apps, bringing the total close to the limit of my storage, the "Other" category got smaller by itself to give me more free space.
Not sure if I got lucky or that was the way it's designed to work.

 

[ART-T]

I'm one that still is leary to permissions that apps want. Especially when I stumble across an app that seems to need more permissions that it should.
I was really excited about the 'Shortcut Tiles' app listed in this review. When I went to the 'store' I found to apps with the exact name in this artcile (for 'Shortcut Tiles').
This is annoying because you don't know if someone is taking advantage of the name with an app that has malware.
The one with 'more' reviews (the one I think is legitimate) asks for permission to my camera. That doesn't make sense to me.... Which then in turn, makes me not want to download the app.
I'm the kind of guy that reads the permissions every App I'm installing is asking for. What I find more annoying is , it seems to be that after you install an app, that asks for few permissions, when they update, they have the ability to change the app to ask for more permissiosn
This means, if you blindy thought, I trusted this before, so , i'll just go ahead and update.... you end up giving additional permissions that the original app.
I feel that each app should, have a link to their home page that spells out the permission they are asking for, and what exactly the app is going to do with it.

As far as not trusting an app not to have malware, that is the point of a walked garden, the only thing good in Apple has been carried into WP. Android is basically the Wild West with rooted phones and side-loaded apps actively encouraged. If it's on the Marketplace and you have not hacxed your phone you will be fine.

I have seen many people use Android phones, and iPhones, while casually looking around. I have yet to see a casual person using a Windows phone. And I work retail.

I used the Windows 7 phone for a long time and liked it a lot, but it only takes one critical must have app to make it a deal breaker. For me that one app is a somewhat obscure student grade/assignment/schedule reporting system that our school district started using that is available on iOS and Android but not Win Phone 8. I grudgingly had to go with Apple 4S during the last upgrade cycle. Bye bye Windows, hello iOS.
