    Interesting apps and games for Windows Phone


    Hello dear readers! In the last article, I told you what it is and how you need to download applications for a mobile phone or tablet running it.

    Today, as promised, I continue the topic, but this time I’ll go through the applications that I personally use, and perhaps some of you will find them useful too.

    If not, then feel free to add in the comments the name of the best applications for Windows Phone that you personally use and tell us why you think so.

    Below are screenshots from my phone, on at the moment This Nokia Lumia 920. Well, let's go...

    Applications for Windows Phone 8 (8.1)

    I will describe all applications in alphabetical order, because that's how WP 8.1 OS sorts them on my mobile device.

    Some of them are standard, which come with the platform, and all the rest need to be downloaded, since you already know how to do this.

    - This standard program, which will allow you to wake up in specified time. A simple interface, a minimum of settings, which suits me quite well, so I don’t think it’s necessary to look for a replacement in the store.

    As you can see, my working day starts at 5.01 am.

    - another standard application, but for viewing video files. There may not be many options here, but you will definitely be able to watch a clip, film, or camera footage.

    I tried to install other analogues, for example MoliPlayer Pro, but I didn’t like them because they don’t have a Russian interface and they don’t read some formats.

    – comments are inappropriate here, this is a client for the most popular social network.

    - an application from one of the largest music sites. Here you can find your favorite songs in one click.

    It’s just not clear where this application saves the downloaded melodies, you can’t find them from your computer either, you have to listen to the music directly in the program.

    I'm sure this bug will be fixed soon.

    Calendar (364 days)— the built-in calendar from W. Phone is completely dull and not presentable.

    Sometimes it’s difficult to understand which date is where, so I found a replacement for it in the “Funny Calendar” application.

    — I decided to leave the built-in one, since it is simple and clear, and I don’t need anything else.

    — built-in application from WP for photo and video shooting. It is quite suitable for creating quick snapshots, a series of photos and high-quality videos.

    - standard notebook.

    — with the help of this client you will be able to have complete information about the services provided by all well-known banks.

    — due to the difficult economic situation, it would be useful to use this application and know which bank is better to buy or sell currency.

    — built-in audio file player. Automatically finds all MP3 songs on your phone and sorts them by genre, artist, composition.

    - a client for determining your location. Since the built-in navigator from Microsoft is not suitable for residents of Belarus (there are no maps for this region), we had to look for a replacement for it, and the Yandex application coped with the task assigned to it perfectly.

    There are a lot of settings here, you can choose the type of map: scheme, satellite, folk. Its display mode: day or night. Automatic scaling, etc.

    - everyone knows that every day a person should drink a certain amount of liquid, so to make it easier to force yourself to do this, this program was invented.

    Its essence is that you enter your height, weight and it calculates how much liquid you should drink during the day.

    The data is entered into chronology, and beep will remind you that it is time to drink so many liters of water.

    — a simple online translator. Select a topic, direction of translation and enter an unfamiliar word.

    You can also read out the text you want to translate to save yourself from the routine work of typing it on the touch keyboard.

    Congratulator - an application for reminding and congratulating loved ones about the upcoming holidays.

    — an application from the Mail company for working with Mail.RU accounts.

    There are similar applications for accounts.

    RIA Novosti - the name speaks for itself. If you want to keep abreast of the latest events happening around the world, I advise you to take a closer look at this program.

    — this application scans any QR code, in which any information can be encoded: text, URL address and other data.

    - allows you to create own melody call from the available songs on your phone.

    Timer (Trafalgar Law) - This app can be used as a stopwatch or timer. Can work in background and is suitable for any situation.

    — free client to manage phone files. With this software you will be able to manage all files stored on the SD card and built-in memory.

    — allows you to use the camera light as a flashlight.

    — search from Yandex on your phone. Set search queries You can use both the keyboard and voice.

    - viewer program PDF files. I use it to read my favorite books.

    - the easiest way to find a travel companion online. All you need to do is select the direction of the trip (set the “Departure” and “Arrival” points) and find a suitable offer and contact the driver or passenger.

    eBay - anyone who likes to buy goods online cheaply will like this application. Now the most popular auction in the world will be available from your phone.

    is the official application of the most popular social network in the West.

    — now you will know absolutely everything about the weather forecast.

    Statistics are available both for the day and for the week.

    is an official application from Google that will allow you to use all the capabilities of the Google social network using your phone.

    — want to take pictures and share them with everyone around the world? Instagram is a young and popular social media messaging network.

    Many people ask how to do it for free from a computer or phone, so I wrote detailed article, you can read it by following the link above.

    is the only Internet browser of its kind for Windows Phone from Microsoft.

    To be honest, it is still far from the capabilities of Opera or Chrome. Often, Explorer displays website elements very crookedly.

    M-Belarusbank (M-Banking)— this application is suitable for those who live in Belarus and use the services of Belarusbank, but I think there is something similar for residents of other countries.

    With the help of this client, you will have an excellent opportunity to pay any types of payments directly from your phone.

    All you need to do is link a money card and select a tariff plan for using the program.

    — application for creating tree maps. In the demo version, only one card will be available to you.

    - standard Windows application Phone, which replaces my computer Word editors and Excel.

    I write many of the articles using my phone, but as a text editor I use it exactly mobile Word, very convenient.

    — cloud storage data, something similar to, but this is a development of Microsoft Corporation. Using this application, I can store all the contents of my phone on the Internet.

    It is OneDrive that helps me transfer an article written on my phone to my computer in one click.

    - a built-in WP application like a notebook. Here I mark important events that I need to do for today and for the future.

    The scheduler also supports automatic synchronization files from OneNote.

    is an application created to search for unknown compositions. Let’s say you heard some melody, for example, on the radio, but you don’t know who performs it.

    Then turn on Shazam, bring it to the sound source, and it will determine what kind of song is playing and who it belongs to.

    Skype is a popular application for communicating on Internet networks via video calls.

    - one more mobile browser, but unlike Internet Explorer it is even more sluggish, although it has much more functionality.

    — mobile application from YouTube. The only problem is that you will still be watching videos in the Internet Explorer browser.

    I haven't been able to find anything better in the App Store yet. You will learn how to create and, as well as upload and, from the links provided.

    I didn’t talk about games, since I’m almost not interested in this matter, but for gamers things are not completely bad, because the Games Store on Windows Phone is huge and everyone has something to their liking.

    To make it easier to find toys, use the standard Games client from Xbox.

    To summarize, I will say that Windows Phone 8.1 has a lot of applications, but there are only a few that are truly normal.

    Here, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do to catch up with Android.

    Alas, I didn’t find any useful programs for maintaining and developing blogs.

    With this I say goodbye to you, if you know others useful applications for Windows Phone, please tell me about them in the comments, and maybe I will include them in the article.

    Windows Phone smartphones can be made as functional as Android and iOS devices. To do this you need to go to Windows Store, download and install applications. The best of them will be discussed in this article.
