The best applications for windows phone. Interesting applications for Windows Phone

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

Today, as promised, I continue the topic, but this time I will go over those 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 Windows Phone applications that you personally use and tell you why, you think so.

Screenshots from my phone will be presented below, at the moment it is Nokia Lumiya 920. Well, let's go ...

Applications for Windows Phone 8 (8.1)

I'll list all apps in alphabetical order because that's how WP 8.1 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 it.

is a standard program that will allow you to wake up at a set time. A simple interface, a minimum of settings, which suits me perfectly, so I don’t consider it 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. Although there are not many opportunities here, you will definitely succeed in viewing a clip, a film, shooting from a camera.

I tried to install other analogies, for example MoliPlayer Pro, but I didn’t like them because there is no 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, they can't be found from the computer either, you have to listen to 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.

It is sometimes difficult to understand what date is there, so I found a replacement for it in the Fun Calendar application.

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

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

— 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 will 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, song.

- a client to determine 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 perfectly coped with the task assigned to it.

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 this program was invented to make it easier to force yourself to do this.

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

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

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

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

Pozdravlyator is an application for reminding and congratulating loved ones about 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 taking place 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 your own ringtone from the available songs on your phone.

Timer (Trafalgar Law) - This application can be used as a stopwatch or timer. It can run in the background and is suitable for any situation.

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

- allows you to use the camera backlight as a flashlight.

— search from Yandex in your phone. You can set search queries both by keyboard and by voice.

- a program for viewing PDF files. I use it to read my favorite books.

is the easiest way to find a travel companion online. All you need is to choose the direction of the trip (set the point of "Departure" and "Arrival") and find a suitable offer and contact the driver or passenger.

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

is the official app 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.

- the official application from Google, which will allow you to use all the features of the Google social network through 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 have a question, how free from a computer or phone, so I wrote a detailed article, you can read it by clicking on the link above.

Microsoft's one-of-a-kind web browser for Windows Phone.

To be honest, it is still far from Opera or Chrome in terms of capabilities. Often, Explorer displays elements of sites 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 too.

With this client, you will have a great opportunity to pay any kind of payments directly from your phone.

It is enough to link a money card and choose a tariff plan for using the program.

is an application for creating tree maps. In the demo version, only one map will be available to you.

- a standard Windows Phone application that replaces my computer editors Word and Excel.

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

- cloud data storage, somewhat similar to, but only this is the 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 a 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.

Planner also supports automatic file syncing with OneNote.

is an application designed to search for unknown songs. 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 source of the sound, and he will determine what kind of song is playing and who owns it.

Skype is a popular application for communicating on the Internet using video calls.

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

is a mobile app 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 e, create and, as well as upload and, at the links provided.

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

For the convenience of finding toys, use the standard Xbox Games client.

Summing up, I will say that Windows Phone 8.1 has a lot of applications, but here are really normal ones.

Here, Microsoft still has to work hard to catch up with the same Android.

Alas, I did not find any useful programs for maintaining and developing blogs.

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