Just what the title says, what killer apps have you discovered for WP7? I just got an HTC Surround as an insurance replacement for a dead Tilt 2 yesterday. I'm still discovering things but after spending a couple of hours digging through the marketplace I have to admit that I am somewhat disappointed with some of the app selection. So I figured why not come to the experts.
I'm mostly looking for apps available for retail phones but if there is one that has to be sideloaded that you think is worth it then by all means list it.
So far I've got:
Mango - this goes without saying and obviously will require some hacking for moment but it's worth listing.
Zune Pass - Windows Phone's ace in the hole over iPhone. Unlimited access to millions of tracks for $15/mo. Add in the SmartDJ functionality from Mango and it is a real killer app.
Games geoDefense and Max & The Magic Marker . And many other games too )
My fave apps
All recipees
vevo
netflix
imdb
prime TV
sound enhancer (htc)
4th and major
engadget
usa today
wp central
words by post
amazon kindle
amazon
cocktail flow
lyrics
song tweeter
rowi
etc etc etc
wp7 os is your killer app
especially if u got mango..
bing maps, music, vision.. ever tried to copy/paste text from anywhere and everywhere?
office, xbox live, skydrive, internet explorer 9 with html5, Zune and what else..
well for marketplace apps:
htc connection setup
and if u can sideload:
Navigon
Today (for LG)
ScanSearch (for LG)
also check out the toplist in zune, what u see is what u get..
with mango we will get what you called killer apps..
we got some great games for now.. and a killer OS..
My fav apps so far:
Thumba Photo Editor: use it daily
MoBudget: best personal finance app but they never update or try to improvise it seems..
FX Rate Watcher: No1 app for currency traders till now..
Currency Tile: good live tile
New York Subway: best ny subway app
Calendar Calculator: innovative
Cocktail Flow: great app with many frequent free additions..
Notepad Plus: good
NewsLab: best news reader, they improved a lot, very frequent updates with active developer response to your problems and suggestions..
Ontrack!: okay app, no improvisation though ..
The following Apps I paid for and than uninstalled it because they were so pathetic, buggy and some just plain useless:
GPS Speedometer: useless, never works, ugly icon.
eWalletGo: pathetic, seems like they released this app just for the heck of it.
handyscan: pathetic, my direct camera pics are more clear than their scan.
My Budget: useless, just record your meaningless transaction, my bank does it too.. Mobudget is way better than this.
One shipping tracker app which was buggy, they are not listed in MP anymore and another NY subway app which was just an app with PDF files of subway map inside, they had no trial otherwise I would have never bought it..
Install the app called Top Developers. It will show you the apps for the best rated developers.
My fav apps are:
Beeez - for twitter
GoVoice - for Google Voice
CalorieCounter
Groupon
iheartradio
Slacker
TuneIn Radio
WalkMan7 (sideloaded)
TVShow (paid)
My fav games are:
The Harvest
Plants Versus Zombies
Twin Blades (won't work on Mango until they update it though)
CarneyVale
Earthworm Jim
Assassin's Creed
Hydro Thunder Go
Tentacles
Fruit Ninja
Angry Birds
Words By Post (free)
The main app to get is the Xda-Developers app. Every other app comes second.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
weave -- THE news reader. the single most used app on my phone.
freda -- ebook/txt reader, free. (chinese font version available as freda chinese)
rad now -- weather radar map
smart tile -- 4 lines of txt in one live tile, good for to do lists and reminders

I think MoBudget last update was around end of June and make the version to 2.17?
IMO, MoBudget really a killer apps for me in WP7, use it everyday~
wow - No mention of Wordament?
Best game I've ever played on any mobile platform, addictive as hell and it's free! No doubt will be copied by some unscrupulous iPhone games company very soon, but for now it's exclusive to WP7!
Also I like the game Tentacles, very innovative.
As for regular apps, I most regularly use Supertube (neat youtube app, allows downloading videos) and Bingle Maps (combines google and bing maps).

Yes they did, but most of their updates has been fixes and many minor changes.. very little new features.. i cant wait for their Live Tile feature and Graph charts which they have promised since May.. maybe they will bring it after Mango.. right now the app scene has all came to a halt waiting for MANGO it seems.. they should also make data input feature a bit easier, My Budget app had a smoother inputing transaction method, if mo budget could apply the same way it would be perfect for me..
Here is the list of games I like:
Plant Vs. Zombies: endless, ever changing gameplay.. good.
Assasins creed: endless, ever changing gameplay.. xcellent.
fruit ninja: surprisingly good, i thought it was for girls but loved it after i bought.
need for speed: enjoyed it!
zombies!!!: Thumbs up.
Rocket riot: Thumbs up.
Rise of glory: Thumbs up.
the harvest: good game but no replay value.
the sims: okay game.
I dig it: saving gameplay is a pain.. right now i am repeating whole level 2 again from beginning because i accidentally exited the game in end by hitting the bing search button.
UNO, Monopoly, parachute panic and fable coin golf: short game, regret buying but its okay to have in collection for a change..
The following games I hate and I wish I could get my money back:
ilomilo: very hard puzzles, unplayable for me, dont like it at all, dont enjoy playing it.
OMG: I want my money back, do not buy this stupid game.
Oregon's trail: what you see in Demo is what is repeated for next 4 hours, nothing new, if you played demo, you have played whole game.
Sonic: this game is unplayable, they cheat you by presenting surprisingly easy levels on demo, but once u buy it, u wont get past level 2, u wont even finish level 2, stupid controls, unplayable, do not buy, remove this game from MP for the better of others who might fall into this trap by sonic company.
All other games in Xbox WP7, i dont liked their demo so i didnt buy them, right now i am waiting for new games..

Me, People, and Picture Hub. The killer apps of WP7 (Mango), at least for me.
Apps:
Beezz (Twitter app with working live-tile)
Shopping List (nice and simple checklist-app)
Supertube
Accuweather (not that great but does the job, switching when marketplace goes live here in sweden)
Flight Info
tvmatchen.nu (shows what channels are showing various sports atm here in Sweden)
gMaps (Best Google maps app imo)
Navigation (TBT Navigation)
IMDB
Cocktail Flow
DC Comics
Last.fm will probably become a favourite after Mango is release and they can add last.fm-scrobbling from the native music player.
Games:
Tentacles !!!
geoDefense !!!
Rocket Riot !!
OMG
ByeByeBrain
Corona
Star Ninja
Name My Tune (plays music from your phone and you should guess the name of the song)
Penguin
Squid Squish
Pixelman
For me the "killer apps" - if you really want to call it that - are what is already built int, mostly the mail client and Office with the SharePoint connection. Apart from those I use the Amazon Kindle app and Boxfiles (Dropbox client) a lot.
The apps I would see as killer apps - if they were there - would be Lync client (should come with Mango) and Skype (will we see that, now that MS bought them?).
Hey guys. 7712 Mozart here.
Apps I use:
4th & Mayor
Rowi
Facebook/People's hub
Engadget (somehow 7712 messed it up)
LazyTube
Office
Turn by Turn Navi (can't buy full app yet Marketplace not launched here. on a different region)
Flickr Manager (lite)
gMaps
HTC Notes (comes in handy sometimes and animations are sweett)
HTC Photo Enhancer
Thumba Cam
Vevo
WP Central
Mail
Really hoping Microsoft would open up the Marketplace here. Would help loads. And that partnership with Nokia is gonna boost their rep if their marketing gets better. Can hardly find a decent casing here. Tempted to ship on in but Amazon doesn't ship here so meh :/
I realize this might be a tad touchy: Is there a good torrent app for WM7/7.5?
Many of the other forums have this as a Sticky so that members can post apps they find essential to their phone experience. Why don't we?
We need one thread here, as (i think) most of us came from iphone/android phones...and dont know muuch about WP apps....I would really appreciate if everyone can share their must have apps for our phone

Oh Thanks, Perfect...I didnt even know about half of those apps and I have been searching from a week...I hope others will get benefited from it and will shares theirs too..
I use 7 Pass for passwords because I can use the Desktop KeePass to make up and change the file and transfer to the phone. I get the dropbox integration but I have a REAL problem putting my secret, sensitive info out on storage that could be anywhere in the world including countries with less strict privacy and copyright policies. People have already been blackmailed with their secret info that was stored on cloud storage.
Apps I use:
7 - Pass
Weather channel app with live tile support. What I like most about the live tile integration they use is that it flips to a radar image and the current conditions and its free.
Built in Music Player
Camera App from Nokia: Creative Studio. The Build in panoramic feature is REALLY NICE and seemless.
eBay app
GasBuddy
Netflix
ShopSavy
Tango (The one from marketplace NOT labeled Nokia as it uses LTE not just WiFi)
Board Express
Newegg app (New I just started using it)
I use Windows Phone News about 5 times a day. Doing so I have followed tips to new apps and games that I got for free in their opening trial runs. Many are a couple bucks to buy now, but I got them for free.
Send to WP7 (I use this everyday, allows you to send the webpage/file to you phone from your desktop, Chrome to Phone was its old name or name on android.)
SkyDrive (Connects you to your Skydrive account and the 26GB of storage it gives you)
ScoreMobile (All sports scores live and past)
YouTube Pro (Download/Upload/Store on/from phone HD videos from Youtube)
Lyrics (Great lyrics app)
8Tracks & Mixtapes (Community created music mixes, streaming, select)
TuneIn Radio(If a radio station streams, they probably have it.
WpFandora (Pandora Client, Beautiful design)
Translator (Bing, new update makes for a fun app Voice/Vision/Text input/output methods)
Thumba Photo Editor Best photo editing app I have used for windows phone)
Concerts (Find where your favorite band is playing next)
FastXDA (Read only app for XDA forums, but it is fast, real fast)
Image Map Plus (Shows where your pics were taken on a map.)
ARMED! (Fun game, probably best non Xbox live game, and really it should be.)
SpellShipTactics (Interactive game of chess'ish, don't just move pieces, but controll and upgrade them in space battles.)
Wordament (Boggle type word game, you vs the internet, you could be playing ~1,000 other people in a game that starts every 2.5 minutes, last 2 minutes)
I have gone from an HD7 to the HTC Radar, and now the Lumia 900. Here is what has earned their keep in my Windows Phones:
Communication & Security
Freetalk - is a Google voice client. I couldn't indulge in my multi-phone, multi-carrier, multi-phone number lifestyle without Gogle Voice.
Rowi - a very full-featured Twitter client.
Skype - it's official! Version 1.0 was released on Friday. The Lumia 900 is great for Skype with the front camera.
Skydrive- this should be on every Windows Phone by default. 16 gb memory limit got you down? No problem! Set all your photos to automatically upload to Skydrive. Move downloaded files on to Skydrive.
LastPass - Password manager, (like 7 Pass). THe program is free to use on your Windows and Mac desktop, but you have to subscribe ($25/year) to use the mobile clients (WP7, iPhone, Android). I like it because it will fill out all passwords for me, generate secure new passwords, and store other secure information (credit cards, software licences).
Photo & Entertainment
Creative Studio - another great Nokia freebie that handles basic picture editing tasks (crop, exposure, color, contrast) as well as some artistic filters you can apply.
Picasa Metro - a client for Google Picasa Photos web service. I can upload pics from the phone to my Picasa folders, and use my Picasa pictures for things like backgrounds on the phone.
Fandango - see what's playing in movie theaters near you and buy tickets.
Netflix - a must have if you are a subscriber.
Vevo - primary site for music videos.
BBC Radio Player - listen to live BBC broadcasts. I am a big fan of programs in BBC 1, BBC 2, BBC London, and BBC Scotland. This plugs me in to those progams and all the goings on in the UK.
Reading
Weave - a deluxe RSS newsreader. Even if you don't have feeds that you follow, Weave lets you just point to subjects in which you are interested and it pulls in the top feeds for that topic. For example if you check the topic "Windows Phone" you will get Engadget, WMPoweruser, WPCentral, and others. You can uncheck any specific feeds in which you are not interested. This eliminates the need for individual reader apps (CNN, USA Today, Engadget, etc.) and gives me a single place to read everything. At the other end of the scale, you can import your entire Google Reader subscription list.
XDA-Developers - duh!
XMarks - all my bookmarks from my desktop are here on the phone.
Amazon Kindle - all my books available here.
CNN, ESPN, USA Today, Engadget, WPCentral - these are all well designed news apps with live tile support.
Shopping
eBay - A must-have for e-bay buyers and sellers.
Amazon Mobile - great for impulse buying new gadgets you read about in Weave!
Misc
Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive - Hey fellow Windows Phone owners, we have great turn-by-turn directions for FREE from Nokia, so neener, neener, neener!
Evernote - I couldn't work without this multi-platform note taking / web clipping application. Whenever I find something on the web that I might need later I paste it into Evernote and add subject tags. That way I can pull it up any time in the future. There are versions for WP7, iPhone, Android, Nokia Symbian, Windows desktop and Mac. All information is kept in sync between all your devices.
Timer - it's just a timer, like you have on your stove or microwave. But I use it all the time for cooking and knowing when to take the clothes out of the wash.

have you used the scan app in Bing search? How does that compare for you? I tried both and use the Bing one now.
Great people......its helping me sure...i think I got at least 10 apps since morning. I will add all the unique apps in the op, if someone really wants me too.

I have used both scan apps. The thing I worry about with Bing is someone being shown to me because they paid bing to be at the top of the list (like google does).
I have used both and found that bing might be more complete on barcodes.

Not sure how to take that. Super Bowl ads that we see and sometimes love, go to the companies that pay for them. Nothing gets on the airwaves anymore with $$$.
Run Keeper - Been using this for over a year and still feel this is the best Run Tracker on the market. Track run, calories burn, miles ran, weight loss and seamless integration to the website for charts, graphs and facebook sharing
Interval Timer - Create workout, interval / crossfit training, etc.
or
XTREME Tabata - Simple timer to track your tabata workout. Slick interface
WpFandora - 3rd Party Pandora app. Great 3rd party app.
or
Slacker Radio
Wiztiles - although limited due to restrictions, you can create custom tiles and have certian links. You can put a backside pic and text of the type of link
Wikitude - augmented browser
White Noise - Great sound machine for sleep or relaxation. Not as good as Android version, but still nice. Needs some polishing though.
PhotoFunia - Fun app to alter pics, put a face on a hockey player, become an astronaut, billboard, etc. Always a cool app for altering pics.
Pageonce - track all your bills, credit card payments and due dates in one site. Great tool for the money spender and procrastinators
Latitude Auto Update - Background service app that updates your latitude location for people who have accounts and like for friends and family to keep in touch with their location
gMaps - a decent alternative to get google maps. I really just use it for the Latitude function to track my friends and family since everyone still is on Android.
Flixster - Movie app like Fandango
ConnectivityShortcut - simple shortcuts to your Wifi, Bluetooth, Cell Data, and Airplane Mode. Creates tiles for them.
AnTuTu Benchmark - Benchmark testing
Creative Studio by Nokia - simple app for pics. Some filters, crops etc. I just use it for the panoramic feature. Works pretty good.
Flashlight 7 - flashlight
Vimeo - Vimeo video app. How there's not one for YouTube is beyond me I'd like a dedicated app, not an app that links to the mobile site
Everything else has been pretty much mention

Once upon a time search engines showed you results based on relevance to your query. Now anyone with enough money can be put up higher on the list than what is relevant.
Thanks to all those who figured out how to make a buck off of my searches =/
A couple that haven't been mentioned yet:
Adobe Reader
Though not essential, if you receive PDF files on your email and want to open them, you will need it.
Baconit
Mentioned before, but deserves way more recognition. Incredible and smooth experience to browse reddit. Highly recommend it.
Diagnostics
Not an app from the Marketplace, but very handy to have. Dial ##634# on your phone keypad and it will automatically download it. This app allows you to run a plethora of diagnostic tools on your phone, including screen color tests, vibration tests, camera flash test (eliminates the use of apps like Flashlight-X), battery status tests, and so on.
Flixster
A good alternative to the IMDB app. Has issues with using GPS though.
Whatsapp
Everyone knows this one. Cross-platform IM app. Uses data. Push notifications work fine, but alerts are not app specific, so if you have vibrate and/or ring enabled, you will receive an alert EVERY time someone messages you (can be a problem when having group chats). Push can be turned off within the app, but it sort of defeats the purpose if you won't know who messaged you until you open the app.
Wikipanda
Best Wikipedia app I've tried. Clean and stable.
InstantReddit
FailBlog
Flashlight XT (no ads)
UC (web browser)
WolframAlpha
Youtube Pro
Thats it? no more apps?

Anybody know if there are any HDR camera apps on the marketplace? I haven't been able to find one

Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Sam Price, I am a composer seeking developers to work with on apps that require either music or sound-effects. I split life between living in central London and Bristol in the UK.
About me
I recently graduated (2012) with a Master’s Degree in Composition from Bristol University – I have written hours of original music aside from my academic portfolios. I am an expert in East Asian and Japanese folk/traditional music (4 years of ethnographic research). I have worked/performed with some of the most famous names in Drum & Bass in the UK as well as some of the most respected Classical ensembles in the Europe. I am a diploma level Pianist as well as being a Singer (concentrating on technical singing – gospel, folk and classical (to an extent)).
My Music
Most recently I have finished composing / recording a Pokémon red/blue re-score:
‘POCKET MONSTERS RE-SCORE’ – 44 tracks (plus 1 bonus track) of original music that I have written to accompany the 1998 video game.
I decided to go for a more orchestral sound – to give the soundtrack a classic yet contemporary feel. You can listen/buy the full soundtrack on my Bandcamp website if you are interested:
sjpcomposition.bandcamp.com - I recommend the Battle themes.
youtube.com/watch?v=2yoT8n-Q74Y - for a short example of the Pokémon re-score with gameplay.
I work in a variety of mediums and genre/styles: Orchestral, Piano, Acoustic, live instruments, synth/electronic instruments, Radio (music, sfx, audio production), Ballet and Opera. I can compose to suit a brief and to a deadline.
Sound Design
I like to create custom sounds using real life stimuli – edited to suit the scene; I have mostly worked on Radio projects creating complete new/unique sounds to accompany the programme. I have found it important to create a sound palate that is just as considered as the music itself, to form a unique sound for the game/app.
Rates
My rates are negotiable and I like to stay flexible – for any quotes please send a proposal and I will respond as soon as possible.
If you are interested in collaborating and you want a soundtrack that is unique, memorable and immersive please contact me on [email protected], or if you are interested in hearing more of my music please don’t hesitate to contact me.
(My website is currently in development, but on the off-chance you are looking through old posts (hello future readers) my website is sjpcomposition.com
Cheers,
Sam
Currently, with our phone or camera, make thousands of photographs and videos a year, at most, a we recorded without rearranging on the PC or USB flash drive, others lose.
Current programs for organizing photographs or videos, are complicated to use, incomplete, do not clean your mobile and are also designed to use and market your network data.
I intend to design an application and software for the PC, to solve this problem, it is very easy to use, to keep your mobile clean and burn your photos and videos on your PC in order to enjoy the moments that inmortalizaste forever, you and your partner, your friends, your family, your travels etc. .. Designed for your data, are at home.
If you can help me design it, because I enjoy it if I'm sick of GREAT use our photos to your interests , have to go through clouds and other public places , the love for me and do not want anyone marketed to them
I've had to translate with Google , as no English , I live in Spain .
