What apps are working and what arent? Yet!

[elmopio]

Just as most users with a new 8 phone. We all started loading the apps we love to use everyday. Yes some of them haven't been updated yet and some have. But which ones I am curious aren't loading properly? I am currently have a issue with only one. Amazon Kindle app. After downloading it loads for the first time. I get to put my credentials in, download the current novel I am reading. Close the app and work on something different, try to load and never loads again. So what app isn't being nice to you this morning?

Reinstaller - unbelievable that doesn't work.

Skype and TuneIn are surprisingly not able to install, same for Photosynth.

So far as already mentioned, only one I'm having issues with is Kindle.

 

[TheBadGuy_88]

I really want Photosynth!!

Add Navigon to the list

Dictionary.com has a similar issue to the description of Amazon Kindle. After the first run, it will never load properly again.

However if I don't let Dictionary.com download the dictionary files locally, it works fine.

That is exactly what I am experiencing with the kindle app as well.

Although I'm disappointed that Shuffle Party isn't working its not a deal breaker.

Boggles the mind that TuneIn Radio isn't working. You think MS would have been working closely with them to make sure the app was backwards compatible...

sky music and sky player also crash after trying to log into skydrive.

Spotify doesn't work.

Viperal Tasks

It installs but when you run the app it never gets past the splash screen.

I suspect TuneIn's issue has to do with the FM radio which isn't a WP8 feature.

Me too. Everything else I've used so far has an updated version and/or runs just fine.

The Kindle app is a killer though because my actual Kindle died this week! I want a new Kindle Paperwhite, but those are backordered through Dec 20th. Ugh...

 

[pr0phecy]

Hope they will fix Navigon soon, cause that is my major app for WP7! It wasn't cheap either. I expect a fix soon enough though...

 

[abailey535]

For me its the ESPN app, it will not update on the live tile.

Kindle app just got an update that fixes the crashes.
