The Office apps for phones using Windows 10 Mobile -- Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote -- will reach end of support on January 12, 2021*. On that date, app users will no longer receive security updates, non-security hotfixes, free assisted support options or online technical content updates from Microsoft. This decision follows the earlier announcement that support for Windows 10 Mobile ends December 10, 2019.
For Windows Phone apps to be designed and tested within Visual Studio or Visual Studio Express, Microsoft offers Windows Phone Developer Tools, which run only on Windows Vista SP2 and later, as an extension[115] Microsoft also offers Expression Blend for Windows Phone for free. On November 29, 2009, Microsoft announced the Release-to-web (RTW) version of its Visual Basic .NET Developer Tool, to aid development of Windows Phone apps in Visual Basic.
Free Apps For Windows Phones
After December 16, 2019, the Store in Windows Phone 8.1 will no longer be available for downloading new apps or reinstalling previously downloaded apps. Users who reset or reimage their phones will not be able to recover previously downloaded apps after this date.
After exploring the Store, installing, and uninstalling a bunch of apps, here is a list of essential apps you should be installed on your Windows Phone. Note that there are some apps like Files that need Windows Phone 8.1 to work. All apps listed here are free (at the time of writing), unless specified otherwise.
If you have ever used Android or iOS before, you must have realized that the sophistication of the user experience of Windows phones is simply unmatched. However, even though Microsoft has always dominated the PC market, it does not enjoy a comparable reputation in the world of mobile phones. The main reason behind this is the indifference shown by the app developers towards the platform. We see many Windows Phone users everyday on forums, ranting about the lack of even small, necessary apps that they need for everyday activities, like Google Maps.
I have a few Windows phone 7 app developed with Windows phone 7.1 SDK. Currently, I'm showing ads in all those free apps. I would like to provide an option to remove ads from the app and allow user to buy the app when they click on it. I know there are such in-app purchase api for windows phone 8. Does anyone know anything about similar api in wp7 or to implement similar thing for windows phone 7 in a custom way?
Line is one of the most popular communication apps in Asia. It is the market leader in Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan. If you have friends and relatives in those locales, Line is a must-have free chat app.
The next app on our list of free chat apps is Viber. It's often thought of as a direct competitor to WhatsApp. But while they do share some similar features (such as end-to-end encryption, voice and video calls, private group chats, and integration with Google Assistant and Siri), there are some key differences.
Apps for smartphones and tablets can be useful both before you leave and while you're traveling. Most devices are preloaded with apps that can come in handy on a trip (such as an alarm clock, compass, calculator, weather, and so on). But you can greatly extend your device's usefulness by downloading additional tools, such as restaurant reviews, translators, and transportation apps.
I've recommended some of my favorite mobile apps below. All of these are available on Apple's iOS devices through their app store, and many of them are also available for Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry platforms. I've noted whether they're free or must be paid for, and whether they're self-contained (Internet connection not necessary after the initial download) or require ongoing Internet access. While it's possible to download these apps over any Wi-Fi network, plan ahead and try to grab the ones you want while you're still at home. This is by no means a comprehensive list. New apps are hitting the market every day. To find the latest, browse the Apple App Store or the Android Market (look under "Travel"), or search for tips on travel blogs and websites.
Flight Trackers: Plug your flight details into FlightTrack (pay, Internet) or Kayak (free, Internet), and these apps will keep track of whether your plane is on time. Folks back home can even track your plane's progress on a map.
Public Transportation: Various subway map apps for the London Tube, Paris Métro, and others (pay, self-contained) have detailed, digital plans of public transit networks that save you from having to unfold an unwieldy map on a busy platform. The free, self-contained MetrO is a handy route-planner for public transit in dozens of European cities, but does not have maps.
The iPhone app OffMaps (pay) will store multiple maps for later use. You need an Internet connection to download maps, but once that's done, the maps are accessible anywhere. Google Maps for Android phones have a similar capability that lets you download and cache (save) several maps for use offline (free). For much more fully featured GPS apps for your mobile phone, check out those from TomTom, Garmin, and other GPS device makers, though European maps for these tend to be very expensive.
Social Media: Using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social networking apps (free, Internet), you can post descriptions and photos of your trip while keeping track of what your friends are up to back home.
Internet Calls and Texting: Skype lets you make free voice or video calls over Wi-Fi to fellow users' computers and smartphones, and cheap calls to other phones. What's App, Text Plus, and Textfree (free, Internet) work similarly for text messaging (note that both parties need to have the app installed).
Windows phones are doing increasingly well taking more and more customers from the big two phone platforms Android and iOS. However they are still catching up in some areas. For example there?s no unified shop and sync software like iTunes. Many see this as a good thing and fortunately you can still use the Windows Phone app for desktop to fill in the gaps. This free software can handle the syncing process to help you make backups.
There are countless free app lists out there for traditional Windows applications and mobile OSs, but not as many for the newer Modern Windows apps. Most of these apps are still very basic in their functionality, but nevertheless there are some that are quite useful, even for network and IT professionals.
In this post, we try to list out some of the top WP7 apps which are free as well as exciting to use. This will be an exhaustive list as you can expect, so bookmark the post and visit back frequently to check for the updates. 2ff7e9595c
