Hi all-
I'm (thinking about) coming over from Android.
One of the main drawbacks I hear (of course) is that there are far fewer apps for WP than for android.
For me, that's not necessarily a deal-breaker because I really don't use that many in the first place.
I am curious to know, however, if there are WP versions of the handful that I do use? I did search on a few of these, but was limited on time and didn't get too far. Also, I lend a lot more credence to first-hand knowledge of various things rather than star ratings.
So, can anyone tell me if these apps exist for WP, or if there is an alternative where they do not exist, and, as important, how well either works compared to its Android counterpart?
1. Facebook - Have heard it's not the most user-friendly in the world.
2. Google Maps/Navigation - I use this a lot when driving. I know there are alternatives for WP (Drive or something like that?). Are they pretty complete (particularly for southern California?)
3. Amazon Kindle - I use this on my phone a lot when I'm out and about and standing in line somewhere.
4. Yelp - didn't use to use it much but i've been finding it increasingly handy to have of late.
5. Pinterest - Nice to have to pass the time, but I don't have a burning need for it on my phone
6. Craigslist - Another "nice to have."
7. Yahoo Mail - Would like to be able to access my yahoo mail from my phone.
8. Music. I had a couple different things loaded, but didn't use any of them all that much. I think the standard google music player, and the amazon one. What's Nokia's music services all about? Also, any idea if there's a Grooveshark app for WP?
Thanks for any info/impressions any one can offer!
