Nokia Counters or Data Sense
My girlfriend has a Lumia 800 and she uses the Nokia Counters app to track her phone usage, but I can't seem to find the Counters app anywhere in the marketplace. Is it being updated or am I doing something wrong? It just doesn't show up in the Nokia collection or anything.
I've heard that Data Sense might only show up when your network supports it - is this true or can I enable it somewhere?
Games
What are some good games I can try out? I like simple games like Bejewelled or Angry birds - something to pass the time. I also like stuff with leaderboards and puzzles too. Any suggestions?
Music
My phone seems to have come with 2 music apps - one Music and Video and one Nokia Music. Which is better? I've seen that the Music and Video one can change the lockscreen image to whatever you're listening to, but the Nokia one doesn't seem to do this?
Smartglass
I was looking forward to trying this - I've seen that you have to have the phones on the same wifi or a data signal and have to be signed in on your xbox for this to work. I've tried it all and it just tries to sign in and then says "Can't Sign in" and keeps doing this over and over. Any help here?
Weather App
My girlfriend has been using the Nokia Weather App (the one that's in the collection from the Weather Channel) but it doesn't seem to update the live tile to show the weather of your current location. It will show the weather on predefined locations you set only. Is there a setting I'm missing here to make it do this or is there another app (preferably free) that would do this. Ideally I'd love to see the weather on my lockscreen without having to even unlock the phone!
Steam app?
I use Steam a lot to game and chat to friends etc, what with Skype coming to WP8 (soon I hope) and able to run in the background, will other apps be able to do this too? I can't find a Steam app at the moment so is there any news if there will be one soon?
Bible App
I'm coming from Android and I used to have a great app called Daily Bible. I could search multiple Bible versions and even get passages read to me so I could do other things while listening. Another feature I really liked was I could download podcasts from people like Ravi Zacharias and listen to them at any time. What's the best WP8 Bible app that could do most if not all of these things.
I have set up multimedia apps like Netflix, IMDB and Metrotube as I read those were good. Some of them dont seem to use live tiles which is irritating though.
Any other recommended apps at all for me to check out?
