First of all, I'm new to WP8(.1) coming from iOS so my apologies if this is a dumb question.
Are there any dashboard type apps that show a live summary of things such as time, weather, calendar appointments, tasks, email inbox summary, etc.? On iOS I have an app called Work Time HD (App Shopper: Work Time HD - Elegant desk top clock for iPad with calendar and weather (Utilities)) that I like to use while sitting at my desk for a quick snapshot or update on things. I love my 1520 and would like to similarly take advantage of the big beautiful screen when I'm at my desk working.
I know a group of live tiles may be able to do the same thing but to me how my home screen(s) is arranged is based more on mobile usage and ease of access than what I may want to see sitting at my desk. Not to mention the above referenced type of apps keep the screen on and unlocked without having to constantly go back and forth into settings to change those controls for mobile vs. desk usage.
Thanks, Ed
