It's a little slow when opening apps or switching between them.

- Limited APP (No Dropbox ....)

But if you want a phone that gets a clear voice on phone calls; receives all texts and emails; and has enough social apps to keep your busy body busy, then this is for you.

Great phone, with only one cautionary note - if your kids like 'Snapchat', they apparently do not (yet?) have a compatible app for this system.

Upto 2 apps simultaneously works like a breeze, a third app does slow down the phone somewhat

Also, when scrolling the screen to the right there's a list of all available apps to pin to your main tile window, but it gets confusing because there's apps that are essentially the

I feel it much better than Google only problem is that some apps are not compatible with windows phone but will have to change the way some things are done

A little slow running apps, but no big deal for me

I found that I didn't use mine even though I have 5 GB of data every month because the apps were so slow to load.

anyone who does not rely heavily on using their phone for popular apps and games.

I couldn't get some basic useful apps which I use in Android everyday

Several apps that I normally use aren't available as a windows app, but I knew this going

your favorite apps may not be available.

but I always buy the free apps.

Any app which requires any significant amount of ram will ASSUREDLY crash

The apps are crap

runs a lot of good apps and for the price is awesome

The only downside I am finding is that there are not as many apps (I miss my alarm plus program, but am working on figuring out a replacement), but none the less there are still enough apps to get what you need

If Microsoft would provide better app development, I would stick with a windows phone, I really have enjoyed owning it

I don't like the fact that very popular apps you can find in the apple store or the android market or not yet found on Microsoft phones

No official snapchat app, a very poor instagram app and nobody seems to be actively developing apps for it, especially the big companies.

No good apps to play

apps are no longer being designed for this phone, but I still prefer it above iPhone and Droid

Fewer apps, but most major apps are available

As many people already know, apps for Window Phone are limited both in quality and quantity, which I was fully aware of when I made the purchase

(T-Mo)Sure there are less apps available, but if more people realize how good they are and start buying them, it could change

Constant App crashes

The biggest problem is the apps though

It's odd that high sound quality music does not sound near as good as the installed ring tones do and no EQ app is available yet to improve

There are so few apps available for Windows Mobile that are useful that the only thing I can really use the phone for is phone calls and MAYBE pictures

Cortana - Very nice voice command app.

(Flow Free, Temple Run 2, one of the Angry Birds, etc) along with some really cool MS apps that also happen to use my Xbox Live gamertag

Going from windows to android was a bit of a learning curve and some apps were not compatible.

the only problem is that the app store kinda suck but all in all a grate phone

The latest Windows phone OS's browser now supports the Digg Reader in landscape mode, and uniquely (and surprisingly to me), the 635 supports the SensorCore SDK, which means that functionality that I missed in the Moves app is now available in the Microsoft Health and Fitness app

And don't get fool when they say that their store doesn't have enough app

for example, it doesn't support epocrates, it also doesn't support some surfing forecast apps that I would like, although it has the basic apps available - bar code scanner, wells Fargo has an app, but not chase or union bank or

Most of the popular apps are there, but my schools app isn't available on it.

The apps it does have are buggy and take forever to load

I thought I'd miss the apps from Google play store or iOS store but really apps just take up your precious time when there is more things to take in

Good basic phone for the price, but the apps are very slow and all of the tasks have a bit of lag.

It's like this phone hates the apps because they always crash

It is still a good phone, call are crisp and apps are working fine

Still missing some key apps

No problem, the windows store is now full of the best apps from Mint, to angry birds, to Spotify and of course all of your social medias

Only downside is it runs on windows..not that many great apps but has the basics and more

I downgraded for a few months and the phone is good just lack key apps that I normally used on my Android.

Its one thing for free third party apps to have ads, but Microsoft had the balls to put ads in their own apps in a phone that people paid for, it cheapens the phone

Great bargain phone if you can put up with limited app downloads

The camera is not bad, but the app is very slow to load and the lack of flash makes indoor shooting in a less than well lighted area problematic

However, more and more apps are being made available for windows phones.

If you want lots and lots of the most popular apps, they may or may not be available for Windows Phone 8.1

Yes, apps are more limited than Android or iOS (iPhone) but the basics are there and Windows Phone 8.1 excels at everything else

Windows phone store has bad app selection -- hardly any apps worth having and it has not improved in the time I have owned this phone3

I do believe it will have enough apps to please me though

As for now, all the major apps I use are available on Windows

Not many apps compatible for my business however.

Also, there a far fewer apps available in general for Windows phones

Faster, bigger screen, nice apps.

And with productive apps like Office and Cortana added to the whole WIndows 8.1 experience you see why people are excited about this little device

I love the data manager & the battery manager as well... very interesting apps that help you analyze what is going on with your device

There is no forward facing camera (i.e. no quick and easy selfies), although there's a cute app installed that gives a beeping sound when you have your face within the camera's photo

Limited APP (No Dropbox .)

Better operating system, swiping and speech recognition.but the apps

It's a good phone and messaging device, with the major apps like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, email, Netflix, and Hulu being available

Found an excellent $0.98 app on the Windows Store, which leverages Google's app-password

I am having fun discovering new apps

Concerned about your favorite apps

The podcast app could be better

But my local bank's app is not available, and the game selection is limited

Just needs a nee more popular apps and add front facing cameras in all phones a d it would be good 😊

Many favorite iOS or Android apps have no Windows Phone equivalent; I've never used iOS or Android smartphones, so don't miss them, but this might be a consideration for some

More app are available

all the apps work great together and the phone is so smart I love contana which is amazing.

All the apps I use are on Windows store and they all work as well or better than any Android

The apps glitch, the phone freezes at times, calls are not always heard, etc

6/10 blogs pages crash, sometimes I am reading web pages and some of the content disappears (the page goes blank), etc; apps constantly reload, crash for no apparent reason

I have enough apps on it, and I prefer not to go with the crowd--I hope it lives a nice long life.

Windows phone small market share means little incentive for developers to write apps, Microsoft has stepped in to make their version of some of the most popular apps but they usually not that good, for example, the YouTube app they made is simply a web app

And enough apps in the ecosystem for my needs

Due to the weak specs, you also have certain apps that won't be available for it simply because it's not powerful enough to handle them

Windows phone store has bad app selection -- hardly any apps worth having and it has not improved in the time I have owned this phone3

Racing 2 shows just as nice as on my Samsung Galaxy 3 (although at a slightly lower resolution).The hardware works so much better than android, and the battery life is amazing, for a battery half the size of my Android phone battery!I can't praise enough how much I prefer 8.1 over Android!!!So far, no issues with multitasking

With WI-FI calling, it works as if I were in the US.

I don't do IOS but have Linux and Windows 8 computers, as well as, experience with using Cyanogen Mod on android

I've had an iphone and and a few androids, and they were great...but this phone does everything I need just as well as those did without the buyers remorse.

The store doesn't seem to be set up quite as well as with android and no where near as well as apple
