Guys lets have a consolidated list of apps that will cause issues when people install W10 TP for phones, so that everybody would be aware what they might be facing when they plan to use technical preview at the same time might also helps Developers to fix their apps.

1. What's app, clicking Toast notification opens the message thread but hangs the what's app message interface ie., keyboard doesn't show up basically like trying to interact with a picture.
2. Nokia Here Maps and Windows phone Maps are out of sync ie., Thought offline maps are visible via storage sense and Here maps, Windows phone Maps doesn't seem to identify it.
3. Sound Hound doesn't start.
4. Flipboard doesn't start.
5. Windows Insider doesn't start
6. Goto Meeting doesn't start

Flipboard works for me fine....

Setting are my biggest issue at the moment.

1. can't add a VPN, keeps telling me I have an incorrect setting. I don't.

2. Can't change languages.

I have done a hard reset with nil change.

For me any of the MSN apps don't work. They force exit. Same with the WeChat. And one more thing I can't copy anything to Onenote or cannot from Onenote.

I found out alot of issues with apps can be resolved by uninstalling/ reinstalling.

Major problem with OneNote... Although it syncks and displays my notebooks perfectly, it's almost impossible to use it- I cannot display the cursor and keyboard when I tap the screen... Strangely, I don't have this problem in Word.

None of the MSN apps are accessible through tiles for me. The tiles are non-responsive. I have to use the all apps menu.

USA Today does not work at all. Many apps in general just stop responding and don't open, which requires a restart and sometimes even a reinstall

Live LockScreen on Lumia Icon
Be careful, it could send your phone into a rolling reboot.

There are some apps which refuse to install from the Store (Beta). I've tried to install those apps from the 8.1 Store, which fails too. Those apps, for example - OneFootball, Skype, etc. Lumia 830 build 10080
