[Opinions] Which Windows Phone apps need the most improvement?

[spaulagain]

Skype.

So much potential there, which makes the fact it's a steaming pile even more frustrating.

Lync is worse. The app is great as far as aesthetics and functionality. But the app is so damn slow it makes all of that completely meaningless. It literally takes 30 seconds to a minute to load a conversation.

Skype. Definitely Skype.

whatsapp is the worst app across all platforms,has tonnes of bugs compared to even Hike messenger(hike sucks because of spam and sending all your contacts in your phone book smses)

What you mind me asking? What do you mean by Whatsapp being bad across all platforms?

It worked fine on my Lumia, albeit lacking a few things and it works great on all my Android devices as well.

How about all the fake apps like the winners advertising Google Hangouts.

Whatsapp, Instagram Beta, Twitter, Vine, Facebook pick one! They are all the worst apps.

That makes no sense. I use all of them fine.

I use Facebook Beta and Flipboard with no real problems. Both could be improved but they are hardly worst apps on windows phone.

Mike Mcclure is a, ahh, what is that word that rhymes with slick?

Audible. Say what you will about X-Box Music, I've never known it to take 20 minutes to resume play after reopening the app.

If BETA software counts then Opera Mini, holy crap I have never seen a web browser crash more often than that. It's UI isn't that optimized for Windows Phone and sometimes when I try to login to some sites it's like the text line was left blank. I do know however that they're fixing it so I'm not mad at it.

If you want an official release software.... Skype, my main messaging platform for my desktop is a mess on Windows Phone. It's so bad.

Skype

 

[Pete The Penguin]

Skype

Seconded.

 

[raycpl]

Skype

I have no qualms with Skype as I use it mainly for video calls.
Not very good to text or sending files... its slow, and I'm being generous here!!

WeChat... this needs an overhaul. I find it frustrating when navigating the app.

Skype. Definitely Skype.

What's really pathetic is the fact that you have a need to post this question.

Every phone and OS has it's strengths and weaknesses. Deal with it.

Yes, if an app from MS doesn't work well in a WP, how would it work well on other OSes, I hope MS fixes the issues.

Photobucket

So much so, that after using Photobucket for so many years on 4 generations of iPhones, after switching to WP8, I've had to completely abandon it and find a different way/method of hosting my pictures online. The Photobucket app for WP has never been updated that I know of..
