Just as most users with a new 8 phone. We all started loading the apps we love to use everyday. Yes some of them haven't been updated yet and some have. But which ones I am curious aren't loading properly? I am currently have a issue with only one. Amazon Kindle app. After downloading it loads for the first time. I get to put my credentials in, download the current novel I am reading. Close the app and work on something different, try to load and never loads again. So what app isn't being nice to you this morning?

Reinstaller - unbelievable that doesn't work.

Skype and TuneIn are surprisingly not able to install, same for Photosynth.

Dictionary.com has a similar issue to the description of Amazon Kindle. After the first run, it will never load properly again.

However if I don't let Dictionary.com download the dictionary files locally, it works fine.

That is exactly what I am experiencing with the kindle app as well.

Although I'm disappointed that Shuffle Party isn't working its not a deal breaker.

Boggles the mind that TuneIn Radio isn't working. You think MS would have been working closely with them to make sure the app was backwards compatible...

I suspect TuneIn's issue has to do with the FM radio which isn't a WP8 feature.

So far as already mentioned, only one I'm having issues with is Kindle.

Me too. Everything else I've used so far has an updated version and/or runs just fine.

The Kindle app is a killer though because my actual Kindle died this week! I want a new Kindle Paperwhite, but those are backordered through Dec 20th. Ugh...

Hope they will fix Navigon soon, cause that is my major app for WP7! It wasn't cheap either. I expect a fix soon enough though...

Kindle app just got an update that fixes the crashes.
