grtzz kevz
[Omnia II General] thunder141:
Look here

There it is for Windows 7 should work with other os too
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazamaza:
Is it just me or are the apps in the WP7 market place really ****ty?

I am still trying to figure out whether to go Android or WP7 so i started checking out the market place. Well, my 1st impression is that there is nothing worth it, and when there is they are plain simple without any worth functionality or add-on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chubnut:
I agree and posted similar on another thread. Really hope they get better very soon
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
What?

First of all, the market isn't open to the (general) public yet - there's well over 1,000 apps going through the curation process that aren't actually posted yet.

Of what's there right now, you have tons of desirable applications present such as Slacker Radio, IMDB, Shazam, Foursquare, Twitter, etc.

Stop hunting for things to complain about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazamaza:
What do you mean not open to the public?

Just open your Zune software and you can easily browse the 1000+ apps that are there. Nothing comes even close to the apps that are available for my iPod touch for example.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rafter_01:
i think you need to be a bit patient with WP7. It will all fall into place (hopefully).

Apps will come, let WP7 release first.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eknutson:
LOL, maybe compare apples to apples ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Start naming apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
When you've actually TRIED the applications let us know. Screenshots and text descriptions do not an application make. Unless your idevice runs WP7 software already then of course you are correct.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sledgeman:
The Harvest is up on marketplace now and that looks sweet. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I thinly before just going hay arnt the apps crap you should look at Android marker and itunes and ask yourself what here is any better that wp7 doesn't have or will have within a very small amount of time. I mean its easy to just go oh there so much rubbish but really how many sound bored fart machines and fake beers do you wan?
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
I just did a quick counted and there are 532 Apps. Not sure what happed on Zune it is only showing 173 now??

More then I expected considering the phone is not launched yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
Netflix is up, sprint needs to hurry with a wp7 device the epic is pissing my off:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] redman99:
I love how quantity = quality

:rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smokexz:
Well, considering Microsoft said that it will LAUNCH with a thousand + apps already in the market. So now we have to know the policies and regulations one's app must meet to get into the market, this is usually how you can tell if the majority of the apps are garbage, or not... Just like if you can tell, the Facebook app on iPhone is better than the Facebook app on Android. The games on iPhone look and feel nicer, and they tend to fail less often. The stricter the rules are, the more polished they come out, at least that is how I look at it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
I'm just glad that companies like netflix, twitter, ebay etc have official apps for WP7. Having those companies back WP7 is a big deal even if Microsoft had to throw some money their way to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
were you honestly expecting WP7 to have 200,000 apps on it's release? And how can you compare a brand new, unlaunched platform to iOS, which has been in dev hands for years?

There are applications still in development, don't criticize until the marketplace catches steam. Also theres applications that Android and Iphone can only dream of such as Cocktail Flow, just look to see.

[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Cool application...this is the right link I think:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qghf4e2n0Yc
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazamaza:
ok , let us be concrete and give examples.

There are no RSS applications that are worth downloading.RSS application do not even Sync with Google reader. They do not have connectivity with Facebook, ReadItLater, Digg it, etc.....

Even the Shazam app looks a dwarfed version of the one available on the iPhone.

Furthermore everything (text, icons, gfx) all look huge on the screen in all applications. Sacrificing visual granularity in order to claim a faster experience is yet another deceiving wicked way of Microsoft claims.

Take a look at the Sudoku apps, it looks better in a newspaper and a pen. Why can't they check what Sudoku on iPhone looks like and try to beat that or at least copy it.

Come on guys, I can keep on and on with examples. I wouldn't launch a new product with such apps, especially when I claim a 500million dollar marketing campaign. That would be a fiasco just like the KIN before it.

At Christmas time, I will have to decide on either WP7 or Android (I am an Apple hater), so far Android wins on every point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ericc191:
I believe there's NewsRoom, which is an awesome RSS app on Android. Also Google Voice! Another cool app on the way is Super Private Conversation aka SPC. This app is a life saver on my G1. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Me to, Here is a nice article on where windows is heading, And phone sync to your car will be a breeze.:)

Today at the SAE Convergence 2010 Conference and Exhibition, Microsoft Corp. announced the availability of Windows Embedded Automotive 7 to select car makers and suppliers in the automotive industry.

http://electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blogspot.com/2010/10/windows-embedded-automotive-v7.html
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
I think you are totally off base but that's just my opinion...the apps I have seen(obviously I have not played with them) look incredibly polished for WP7. I see no advantage for android...the marketplace for android is a bit of a mess...

I've no problem with not buying into the aesthetics of WP7 as that is a purely personal thing but to get all fanboy about it is a bit silly...I think MS has a winner on their hands...let's also remember that it's not only about apps...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebzrascal:
I am actully quite pleased with the APPS in the Marketplace so far and have identified many APPS I will download both free and paid when I get my new phone.

I do think Microsoft should work with the likes SKYPE, TOMTOM, OPERA etc to get their APPS on to WP7 platform asap also...
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
I will not hesitate getting a new phone if these 3 Apps are on WM7 as well.

WM7 would have every thing I need then.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moparman:
Who cares if theres 250k apps or 1000?

I rather have 15 really good apps then 200k bad apps
[Windows Phone 7 General] isoman4:
...you do realize ALL of the apps that will launch with wp7 aren't showing in the Zune marketplace, right? That would mean you can't make a solid conclusion on what's available yet...REGARDLESS of the category. If you don't REALLY know weather or not it's there, you can't comment on it's absence.

Just sayin'.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lavike:
Neither Android nor iPhone have "Shotgun rules"!

Okay, I know the developer so that really was a shameless plug.

I'm for waiting and seeing what comes up. Just like the current version of WP7, app developers are trying to get their stuff out there. As version 1.01's come out, polish will be applied.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Then at least compare the apps on WP7 to the apps on Android. What's the soduku app look like on Android? What about Netflix? What about IMDB? Ebay? iHeartRadio?

iPhone will have the best app market for a while. Android's is crap. The WP7 SDK enables developers to make great looking and very uniform apps with little effort. There's already some great examples of this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
That is a good point. Microsoft have gotten over 1K applications on their market / will have and I think thats quite impressive. Once people see how popular WP7 is then other (smaller) devs will port over their applications to the WP7 market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] n8huntsman:
People don't forget that the only reason Google cares about selling phones, the reason they developed a phone in the first place, is to get their apps on phones. They really don't care whether there apps, and therefore advertisments, are on an Iphone, WP7, or android. So there should be no question about whether wp7 will have RSS readers compatible to Sync with Google reader...

Not to mention a lot of app developers wont even bother writing anything till they see if the coolness factor of zune and x-box catch on. Have faith, this will be the next have to have phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chubnut:
Have to say, I've been looking at the marketplace quite regularly over the last few days and it is constantly expanding. Every hour there is something new. However, still not impressed by the apps that are there and I'm not talking about the quality of them as until we try them we can't really comment. Only a few are standing out as "get me", the rest are ...well....useless as far as I'm concerned. Where are the business apps and proper productivity apps we used to have in Winmo6.x? Why do we need so many apps to work out tips? Come on! Really? People can't work out a percentage of a bill in their heads or use the standard calculator (I'm assuming it's still there).
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
Yeah newsroom is the business, the most used app on my epic and I see it in the marketplace so im happy $5 is alot for it but i dont mind paying since no matter what phone i have RSS readers are always my most used app (RSS hub and newsreader)
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
These apps are aimed at the younger generation.

It's said I know but a lot of teenagers cannot even add the basics up these day unless they use a calculator.

I agree though I hope they keep an eye on the App market and get rid of all the crap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Are you guys really arguing about what's in the market? There will be pointless apps, okay apps, and great apps in every market.

500 apps before the phones are even out is spectacular enough.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The new Internet explorer is good. There's no need for Opera. Opera is more popular with OEMs that customize it as a default browser in their systems. Opera will not be able to multi-task on WP7, effectively killing it. IE is good enough, though. It's based on the ZuneHD browser which was reviewed quite favorably.

Tom Tom may be good for an off-line GPS solution, but if you have a Signal Microsoft will have Bing Maps with Voice Navigation, Traffic, etc. It was flawless on WM 6.5, don't see why it would be anything less than that on WP7, and I don't think they'd want their Verizon Bing app to be better than their WP7 Bing App...

Skype... Who knows. It may not be a Microsoft thing as far as Skype is concerned. Yahoo! has Video calling for Android now, so I'm willing to bet Microsoft will add Video Calling for MSN Messenger. That + Allowing people to do Voice Chat from Phone to PC and Phone to Phone can pretty much kill the need for Skype for most consumers who don't use it for business purposes. Lots of people are getting tired of having to keep up with so many different logins/accounts and chat clients. I think upgrading Live Messenger should be more important for Microsoft than trying to convince Skype to stop slobbing on Verizon's knob.

EDIT: No offense, but I think you people are being a bit overdramatic with these threads. Android still kind of sucks, and it's been out how long? It JUST got a push messaging platform (that doesn't support over half the handsets out there). It still has a crappy media player. It still doesn't have a decent desktop sync option on par with iTunes or Zune. It's Exchange support is just getting there (me losing my phone caused IT to ban Android handsets getting on Exchange because Android < 2.2 doesn't support Remote Wipe and has bad policy support).

Also, Android had more ****ty apps than you can shake a stick at.

So I'm wondering why people are crying about WP7 applications. WP7 is not as App-Centric as Android and iOS, anyways. That's an intentional design decision by Microsoft, and that's part of the reason why it functions wholly different than those other platforms. If you're looking at it from an App-Centric point of view, you're doing it doubly wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rexian:
MS has built a nice OS, now they (Tomom, iGo etc) will come. The question is not 'if', it's 'when'?
[Windows Phone 7 General] valkryomnia:
Look. Honestly, you must be searching for reasons to favor with android, because clearly you must be ignorant to think Shazam for the ipod is better than wp7, that there won't be one single sudoku app that looks good, and that newsroom isn't a good rss reader. And honestly, you cant expect every app you want to be released at launch. Also, because the marketplace hadn't been released yet, you do not know whether apps you want will or will not be present.

Give it some time, stop being a douche.

Also, look at this article:

http://www.orktane.com/Blog/post/2010/03/14/WP7e28099ish-vs-iPhonee28099ish-Sudoku-Fight!.aspx

And vote in the poll at the bottom, then see what people think of the sudoku apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazamaza:
Ok, yesterday's WP7 reviews from all over were not very favourable.

As most of u said, it is too early to judge and we need to give microsft time to grow this product and mature ot.

So i bought the Android HTC DEsire just today and will be skipping this 1st generation WP7. In a year or 2 if WP7 catches steam then I might end up buying a WP7 phone. For now i just want to root and reflash the Desire i guess ;)

Tx
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Lol.

Just Lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
As a developer people like this piss me off.

I just put my app on the market for free for those who workout in the gym and need their routine. Normally you'd use pen and paper but you can forget to bring it, it can get ripped or wrinkled really quickly. My app digitally stores your routine and also has a nice timer and 1 rep max calculator at 1 swype of the finger. Extremely easy to see. No wasted time etc.

I get the following review:

"The app allows you to enter your workout schedule through a confusing pivot based wizard, but after that all you can do is look at it. You cant enter your workouts and track progress against that schedule, which is what would make this type of app valuable for me. If you already carry your phone around with you at the gym, this app might provide an ok way to see your workout plan at a glance, but otherwise i'd just stick with pen and paper"

People like that bother me. First of all: "a confusing pivot based wizard" - Welcome to windows phone 7 metro ui... Also he/she complains that it cant do this and that, did they even bother reading my description? I never said that's what it did. I described it as a simple way to keep track of your routines without having to go through a bunch of menu's. I never said it was a personal trainer.

So now my app has a 1 star rating and will more likely get ignored by many because of 1 person.

I put many hours into writing that app because it's exactly what I needed, and exactly what guys at the gym requested. No serious gym member wants to sit and have to enter data every set into their phone for it to spit out a graph at the end. Let's face it; Those are the New Years resolution people who think they are all extra productive by having an app to tell them what to do... People who are serious about working out want to get in, put in hard work and get out.

jeeze

/end rant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
Sorry to hear about that mate, hopefully you won't let it discourage you. Software developers are awesome, especially those who do it for free.

Cheers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ericc191:
You bought the HTC Desire? Not the Desire Z or Desire HD?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazamaza:
Correct. the Desire
[Windows Phone 7 General] arkavat:
let us know the name of the app. When i get my phone, I will check it out. sounds like a very useful tool for gym.

Thanks for you efforts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] isoman4:
I agree with arkavat. Your program sounds great, and I'd love to give it a shot! What's the name?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
What worries me a bit is not selection, but complaints about app performance, particularly with scrolling big lists. Just about every third party app in the Marketplace has somebody mentioning it in reviews. I think this can be sorted out with time, both by MS and by developers, but still...

As far as selection goes, I think that given the early stage (the platform hasn't even launched fully, and the Marketplace is supposed to still be pretty much going through testing and tweaking), it's absolutely stellar. Granted, there are things missing (among these lack of satnav would be my major problem if I were getting a WP7 device now), but come on, there are already apps in most categories. Satnav, a decent RSS reader with Google Reader and Read It Later functionality, a Read It Later app, a bit more polished ebook reader, and it'll have everything I'm using on the iPhone right now. Again, this is while the platform is days old!
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
microhaxo: sounds like a great application. Maybe you should update your description to say what it does not do for clarity. But I can guarantee you will always get those people who read but dont fully comprehend. I would contact sites like wpcentral and pocketnow and give them a heads up to review your application, that will get it a lot of exposure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I think a lot of the problems now is that many devs haven't had access to real devices. So while most of the ones in the marketplace now probably had devices, some probably didn't. The app may have worked fine in the emulator but sucked on a real device. This is one of the main reasons I'm holding off on finishing my app and releasing it til I can test it on real hardware. I know there's going to be some things that I didn't think of or just don't perform well. But specifically for list boxes, Peter Torr wrote a great blog post on this very topic. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptorr/archi...scrolling-performance-and-responsiveness.aspx A must read for the devs whom are being affected by listbox performance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Dont forget to add the required line of code to properly deactivate your application:

http://mobilitydigest.com/windows-p...r-unlocking-heres-the-deal-it-can-be-changed/
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
too late, i had like 5 1 star reviews.. Unbelievable.. I just removed it from the market. In the emulator it works just fine. Idk what the hell happened on the real device to cause such poor reviews :(

I'd rather i wasted many hours writing code than to see my work be rated so low.

It might still be up for a day

it's called My workout.

Also i tried updating the icon and description and every time i do microsoft says my app Failed testing and the report shows a blank page. No code was even touched so they got some major certification problems going on now.

I just need to walk away for a few weeks and let the trolls settle down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rjh1:
I want to see what apps are out there but I dont seem to know where to look!

How do I get to Marketplace?

I have googled it and looked on microsoft and I only see that is says to use your phone to enter the marketplace, I dont have a WP7 phone yet I just want to look around!

Thanks

Rick:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] manlisten:
Download the Zune software (here). If you already have it installed check for an update.

Then go to the Marketplace section and then the Apps section.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rjh1:
Thanks.... I will try that now..

Rick
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yea. Market trolls are imcredible. Theyre downrating good android apps caise it wont work right on their hacked up HD2... Or cause it states it doesn't support their device (skype). I'd just ignore them and limit region to US if its a free app and that's possible...
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
Great idea. I limited my app to USA only.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reihnold:
And what's the difference? I think trolls can be found everywhere and are not restricted to some regions or countries.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
I was going to say the same thing and its more likely that they will be from the US anyway as most of them speak english.
[Windows Phone 7 General] steel69:
I only need a Twitter, Facebook, engaged and xda app, if I can have these I'm a happy guy
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
The fist twitt app listed on Zune has a five star review and is free.:)

Is not facebook all ready on WP7?

And as for an xda App I would think there will be one soon??
[Windows Phone 7 General] chubnut:
Have to say, I'm impressed that there are now a decent number and range of apps on the market place. There is a lot of duplication but that is to be expected. I am looking forward to seeing some more business orientated apps though and hoping that MS will lift some of the restrictions on developers so some better tools/productivity can be produced.

However, I'm a bit worried about the number of apps which say they make use of the phone's data connection or location services which in my mind makes no sense when in my opinion they are stand alone. Examples are :- Torch apps - WTF?? Normal calculators or tip calculators (not talking about the ones that do currency converts). There are quite a few others.What is the data connection need other than the initial download and that is via the market place anyway?cxlx;

Elsewhere on the forum comments have been made concerning the "all or nothing" of turning off/on data connection to web/WiFi and bearing in mind the costs that can rack up using data at home or roaming abroad, be pretty p'eed off I ended up having to pay for data using a torch in the middle of a dark road in say Turkey!!!
