Over the past few months the Windows Phone 7 marketplace has
started to see some really nice apps added. And we might even
dare to say a few are actually better than there iPhone
equivalents!
Here are our current WP7 top ten applications, they are in no
particular order - You can click the images to go straight through
to the marketplace.
Rowi
The official twitter app for WP7 is
actually pretty good. But Rowi take it a stage further with nice
tile notification and a really slick interface, we personally like
using it reversed out with a white background colour. You won't
find a better Twitter app than this, even on the iPhone and
Android.
AppFlow
This app was a must before Microsoft
released the web based
marketplace. Originally the only way to look for apps was via
the built in marketplace on the phone (Which sucks) or via
Zune. AppFlow still has its place though, and makes it really
easy to discover new up and coming apps from your phone.
ESPN Goals
If you are a football
nut, then you need this app in your life. Surprisingly it
seems this app isn't as well known as we thought, but if you want
to catch up and see all the latest goals - Then you won't find a
better app than this.
Sky News
This was only released a few months
after the Mango update, but is hands down the best news app for
WP7. And even better you can stream the channel live from
your phone, and with a good connection the video is excellent.
RunSat
Unfortunately Nike still haven't
bought out the Nike+ app for WP7 yet (Same on you Nike)! So
if you are into running and want to map your run, walk or whatever
then RunSat seems to be the best pick of the current apps.
The website that your results are uploaded to definitely needs a
facelift though.
Dominos
A really nice developed app,
recently released into the Marketplace. Speaks for itself,
but great to see some of the big brands getting involved in WP7
now.
DropBox Viewer
This is a really handy app for
viewing your files in your DropBox folder, we'd also recommend you
grab the fantastic
Acrobat reader app to use in conjunction with this. We are
really looking forward to the next versions of this app.
Google
Pretty simple, but extremely handy
app for searching Google. Saves you a few extra finger taps,
especially if you attach the tile to your home screen.
Vimeo
There are quite a few Vimeo and
video apps already, but this official app from Vimeo really has a
beautiful UI. Really well developed, and the videos steam
very nicely.
Facebook
This is probably one of the best
developed and designed apps for WP7. Its also (In our opinion) the
best Facebook app available for any phone platform. The next
version is set to make it even better too.
