No not the blahblahgram (we’ve got alternatives now anyway), but BBC iPlayer. This first version allows you to watch and listen to TV [...]
We received this App-Tip from the actual developers of “Hungry Now”, the “July 03 Apps Creator” team. We’ve just launched our 1st mobile app and we’re lovin it !

Do you remember when we talked about Lytro, a camera that would allow you to choose your focus points as and when you needed it AFTER you took the shot? It wasn’t something I’d expect coming to a camera phone anytime soon, so colour me surprised when someone made it into an app that actually [...]

Here’s a WP app news roundup from reddit. First up, Scruff is now available in store.

I’m not a Pandora but I’ve seen a fair few requests around the web for this to appear on various Nokia platforms. It’s now available for WP8, no ads, no limits on streaming – due to a special arrangement with MS (until 2013 ends). Android and iOS users need to subscribe $3.99 to get [...]

The PDF Reader from MS on WP8 puzzled me as despite the power behind the Nokia Lumia 920, it was failing to open up my large PDF textbooks in a timely manner. I was losing hope of ever using PDF’s on my 920 other than occasional light documents until I came across another PDF reader, [...]
Asphalt 7 is finally available to download for WP. This game is a whopper at 878MB! I’ve already hit buy, downloaded and played it very briefly.

As soon as I saw Chris’ tip, I jumped at the chance to download TVCatchup that we read about a few days ago. The demo was not planned so I’m pretty much discovering the app as I’m recording it. You can watch high quality FreeView live streams over WiFi or watch normal quality through 3G. [...]
WPCentral have posted up that Viber has announced they will bring Voice Calling to Windows Phone, exclusive to the Lumia range. This is another prime example of Nokia improving the WP experience for Lumia users. Although, I do think that having such exclusive apps and services does indeed cause fragmentation, but let’s not discuss that. [...]

Almost missed this one. Video was available at the YouTube page but I forgot to do the written bit. Anyway, it’s a basic app from Hello Magazine. This was again, recorded on the 808. I’m also trying out some new LED lighting, but I think the 808 copes better without it. #298) Hello Price: Free [...]

You get hints if you can’t guess straight away and as you get more correct answers, you accumulate more hints to help you later on.

This is the yellow pages app. Useful for finding points of interest. Shame it doesn’t integrate with Nokia Drive. Very different from the US Yellow Pages. After the news today of Yellow phones you may feel like yelling a bit in either excitement or disappointment. Use this app to find a pub to celebrate/drown your [...]
Accurate tuner is a really good app for tuning your musical instruments. A free version is available though the paid one does come with plenty of worth while added benefits. It works really well. The developer of this app contacted us ages ago about it but I’ve only gotten time and an instrument now to [...]
