TuneIn Radio is an American service that allows you to stream audio from around the world. Primarily set up to allow you to listen to international streaming radio, it also allows for some podcasting and fixed audio programming to be played in the interface. If you're looking to listen in on a station from anywhere outside the transmission range, this is the app for you.
Do you enjoy sharing images online? Are you the sort of person who is happy to give and receive with no credit? Is the best part of a picture the vicarious nature of sharing it online for someone else to enjoy? Then Rando, an experimental photo app from design studio ustow.
Didlr is an interesting little drawing application for your Windows Phone. Allowing you to create sketches with some basic tools and a handy tracing element would be nice, if limiting, but pairing it up with a social network is a masterstroke.
Smartphones are great for sharing, and Windows Phone has a lot of sharing options built in. It's going to take a strong third party application to usurp these features, and while Funnel is a nice idea, it's not strong enough to replace the built in apps. But is it strong enough to complement them?
Listen Again is a third party app that lets you play back many of the BBC radio shows that have aired in the last seven days. It's not an official BBC app, but it gets the job done, albeit with a few quirks along the way.
I've always been a big fan of ebooks, although with Windows Phone I've not had as many options to read books as I do on other platforms. Up until now, Amazon's Kindle app has been my go to client of choice, but I think it's about to be usurped by Legimi's updated ebook reading app.
Ciel is an image editing tool on Windows Phone that many could find a use for during the summer holidays. It takes your images and captured photos, and allows you to share them with additional information about the weather and your location on a number of social networks. Think of it as a social postcard and you'll be there. [Think of it as a direct competitor to PhotoTxt Weather, too - Ed]
Having worked my way through a number of Camera replacements for Windows Phone (what does it say about the built-in application, that so many third party replacements have been created?!), I've hit upon something of a winner. Clever Camera offers an accessible interface with a couple of genuinely unique features, let down only by slight speed and stability issues and the lack of a review function for previously taken photos. Well worth a look for anyone wanting to get genuinely creative on Windows Phone though.
History Daily is one of those fun little apps that seems curious when you come across it in the Windows Phone store. The description is simple; "Every day, get one short story about what happened on this day in history" and it delivers on that promise.
