A small set of programs I have installed for Windows Phone

    I allow myself to publish a list of programs that I have been using for quite some time on Windows Phone. I spent a lot of time while choosing from a dozen similar programs those that are more in line with design guidelines, are more stable and at the same time quite functional. Sometimes each of several similar programs has its own “killer feature”, in this case all are listed.
    Of course, I could miss some pearls, in this case I will be very glad to see the links in the comments and include them in the list.
    It is possible that comments on programs hurt the eyes; write, if so, I will correct it.
    I also add that some programs cost money, but in all these cases the price seems adequate to me, and the purchase system in the marketplace is simple enough not to be an obstacle to encouraging the developer.
    PS Sorry that I do not give screenshots, I did not expect that such a sheet would turn out, I just wanted to share it, I think it can be useful for beginners.

    Navigation


    • Yandex Maps - good maps for Moscow and the rest of Russia
    • gMaps Pro - Consider It Official Google Maps for Windows Phone
    • Simple OSM client for OSM, in some things better than all other map programs (bookmarks and compass, for example)
    • foursquare official, works
    • Jack of tools - compass, altitude, speed, return to base and similar utilities + level indicator
    • Radar - we put the points and go back to them offline, we only need jeepies

      In the underground



      • Mosmetro - shows only the most optimal route, but with the duration of the transitions, you can specify the desired intermediate station
      • Metro maps - you need two tapas to select a station (“from here” or “here”), but it’s much more beautifully drawn + there is a link in a real map + it shows all decent routes
      • geekMetro - metro maps for many cities, several routes + transit times, but sometimes not beautiful (raster, albeit high-quality) maps fly out



    Time





    Dictionaries



    • SilverDict is a condo interface, but a giant repository of dictionaries for all languages ​​that are downloaded by OTA in one tap, with a further opportunity to use them offline, so we tolerate
    • Dictionary is an excellent interface, but the base is an explanatory English dictionary of 1913, so sometimes the explanation is not entirely clear, we rejoice at the super interface


    Hacking



    • TouchDevelop - development environment inside the phone, a big thing from Microsoft Research


    Communication



    • Skype official, working fine
    • Twitter official, without Wi-Fi it is better to use the web interface, at least it’s clear that it slows down

    • QR Code Offline for creating code
