I was disappointed that a magic jack app is not available for the windows phone

i like the phone in general, its easy to use, very portable, but i do not like the fact that i can not use tinder or other cool apps, just because they are not available on a windows phone

They only use them in the house on the Wi-Fi but so far have been able to find a lot of good apps including free music that they can use even without Wi-Fi

Bad thing is, Windows has an awful app selection

Windows has basically no cool apps

No good apps for Windows Phone, but it gets the job done.

You can block all apps, allow free apps, or allow for any app to be downloaded

The Windows Store can be limited and doesn't have support for some things like Hearthstone, but all the apps I've run so far have no lag.

super good.-Fast app switching works great.-Notification pull down

Those who don't go with market leaders like iPhone or Samsung and prefer apps for normal use, this model is an ultimate choice.

another PRO is that since it is a windows phone you can control your pc from on the go thru a free app called TeamViewer

Texting apps have crashed frequently.

FYI the Windows App Store has very limited apps available compared to android/IOS

you finally have your child's Live account created and linked you'll be able to control thier PC access (if you've setup a separate Windows account for them) but you won't be able to control anything on their phone other than what kind of apps they can download - not which apps, but which kind of apps (none, all free apps, all apps).So since the only way you can control which apps your child can access is by blocking all apps, if there's a particular

The Cons are the weaker app store, no camera on the front, no flash on the rear camera, but I wouldn't honestly expect all that at $50 and under.

It's super light and the apps are easily accessible and easy to learn and navigate

doubt)another final major issue is it doesnt have as big of a app base like apple or android

Good price but Windows phones have limited apps available

The apps available are terrible and most are either far behind where iOS and Android apps are or third party knock offs

but the apps aren't as intuitive as an android

The apps are nice ; however, the monthly rates seem somewhat high

Great apps available

Very clear sound, all the apps work with no time lagging

its ok - slow - no real good apps - crashed a bit since the updates

going from an iPhone to this was difficult, it works fine but apps are lacking

Windows Phone lacks apps & games, but if all you want to do is text, email & browse the web, it does all that wonderfully.

This is a cool little app in the phone

Being windows it has limited apps available, but I already knew that

The downside is that it has 512MB of RAM so it can't play certain apps like Angry Birds Go, which he loves the most.

But all my other apps are fine as wine

Windows by far has the worst app store and

Limited apps

I understand that iPhones and Android have a better app store out there, but in reality I utilize don't more than a handful of apps

I finally went with the iPhone 6 Plus largely because of the greater app library

It is smart enough but doesn't support all the apps that the more expensive phones can.

Being windows it has limited apps available, but I already knew that

Add to that wi-fi capability for internet access, email, the ability to download apps like Netflix, as well as a built in camera and you have a traveling entertainment system.

its ok - slow - no real good apps - crashed a bit since the updates

Great apps and battery life

The one big negative would be if you wanted to give it to a kid because there are not a lot of kid friendly apps, which is unfortunate because the windows operating system is pretty nice.

love it its durable and simple needs better apps though

The apps available are terrible and most are either far behind where iOS and Android apps are or third party knock offs

The apps were awful for the most part

It has apps to be useful and more available you can install for free if you are good at ignoring the blinking ads

On top of that it has a decent camera, great layout (if you're a fan of windows), and has room for upping the phone's storage if you find you're downloading a lot of silly apps just for the thrill

its ok - slow - no real good apps - crashed a bit since the updates

Hopefully this will encourage app development, since that is one of the primary drawbacks of this phone, the lack of some popular apps.

it's a shame that more apps like flash player aren't available for Window phones

Win8 is a smooth interface that is easy to learn, decent selection of useful preloaded apps

I can monitor what web sites he had been getting on and he loved the apps for it.

Shame there are so few apps for windows so.

the best app

Those iphones and android phones just need the same app as the windows apps to work together.

The app store doesn't have many apps ,but good enough for me.

The biggest complaint I see of Windows Phones is that there are not enough of the "popular" apps

So don't expect to find apps from different companies or finance to work with this system

That said, I was able to find free, decent apps for many of my needs: RSS reeder with Feedly support, dictionaries, Spotify, Amazon shopping, Kindle, EPUB readers, Python documentation (and shell), etc

Reccomendations: if you don't mind not having great apps and can live with the limited apps windows offer then maybe you can consider this.

I tried those apps on wireless and it works fairly well with android and iphones.

Lots of good apps unless you are hung up on a specific one they don't have.

Horrible difficult to open packaging the app are the worst

I've used both Iphone and Android phones in the last few years, and it's impossible not to miss great apps on both platforms

lifeCONS:Back cover is creaky and bothers meLimited store apps

And the only reason you're able to buy such a phone at this 30$ish price is because it's a dying platform with very little competition (and thus very limited quality) among apps available

I put in a memory chip but not the supplied go-phone SIM, connected to my wifi and downloaded some handy free apps

But if you want great apps like clash of clans then get an iOS or android device.

It easily loads most apps and returns to the start screen faster than my first generation Moto E, and unlike the Moto E it has a good amount of storage space (around 6gb usable after OS and system apps are installed, versus around 1gb usable on the Moto E).Like I say, windows phone is not for everyone, but it's getting better, and since this runs windows 8.1 it will be compatible with windows 10, which should bring much more good apps and some very cool features.

Even with the limited apps available on the Microsoft store, there's enough to make the phone useable and educational

However, the apps are limited

The store doesn't have a lot of the popular apps from android and iOSPros: it's

However this is better than no app

people do not like windows phone, but most essentials apps are available in WP now

No other birding apps are available for this platform.

The apps that work on the Windows computer are Not available on the phone.

App choice limited.

I would avoid Windows phones as a rule...simply not enough support or apps out there for them

Not easily compatible with iTunes/Google Play apps

Some apps I was able to download on my old Lumina , that did not work on this one

The store has so many free apps to choose from whether your looking for your favorite game or something to help organize your day, the Store has it all

Reccomendations: if you don't mind not having great apps and can live with the limited apps windows offer then maybe you can consider this.

Yeah, there's no flash for the camera, and the apps available for Windows aren't the

I want to give this more stars because I liked the phone a

The recent update around January 2015 killed the maps, it now makes you sign up for something and go through 15 pages to get some version of maps working, which isn't nearly as fast or user friendly as before

This is a great phone for a new user for Windows OS platform as well as for the experiencedelay user as well.

Call quality is still just as crisp as it was on day one and speaker output is still excellent

very slow phone using it only as a
