Aside from the MS apps that comes built in like Outlook Mail, Calendar, People and Office apps, I'm basically using 3 apps: Facebook, Messenger and Twitter but they feel dated now as they didn't get updates like their Android/iOS counterparts. Facebook and Messenger are slow as hell (on 950xl here) and missing tons of features (no video calls on Messenger).

Twitter got a better look with the PWA version but no notifications and other stuff as these are not fully supported in W10M.

But my most loved feature is not an app but the OS itself with the live tiles. Never a mobile OS looked better than Windows Phone/Mobile.

Lumia 950 XL apps used at least a few times a week, more like almost every day:
Messaging, Skype, Messenger, Outlook Calendar / Mail, MSN Weather, The Weather Channel, Fitbit, MSN News, The Guardian, Windows Central, MS To-Do, Action Note, OneNote, Word, Office Lens, Edge, Connected Devices, HP Smart, Cortana, Diarium, Dictation App, Battery X Pro, Poki, NextGen Reader, NPR One, OpenTable, Trakter, TripAdvisor, Vinci, Walgreens, Waze, City Art Search, Yelp, Zomato, Foursquare, Poynt, ShopSavvy, QR Code Reader, Mirror, and of course, Camera.

Alcatel Idol 4S apps are just the essential basic apps.


I do love Windows phones. My iPhone just sits there. It's like a toy and I never use it except for Facetime with family. The Androids are just too primitive to do work compared to the Windows 10 Mobile. So, my Windows phones are like my computer on the go. I need it to keep life organized.

I am still using my Lumia 535 DS for calls, messages and specially for WhatsApp and outlook calendar from last three year.
Which app do you use most on WP10?

Lumia 735 with Win 10

I use Edge most of the time for Facebook and occasionally Instagram (it's actually very usable, more than the official app that takes two tries to startup).
I use Whatsapp, Chronos Calendar, myTube, Maps, banking app, Nextgen Reader for feedly, Sportstracker, Sensie (to get and backup movement data), Bind and notify miband to use miband with the Lumia, Zonos to control Sonos and Plex app. Plex videos don't work properly though, not sure why but I didn't use it very much so no big deal and Zonos app on the other hand has issues with Plex on Sonos so it's not very usable in that regard. Other than that the phone is still usable although quite buggy at times and restarts often (once every two weeks or so). I'll keep it around until it disintegrates and then see what the options are.

Same here I also use Facebook and Instagram in edge, better than there apps.

14. metrotube
15 My Car: for collecting data and stats on my car
16. skype....because of sms relay. native messaging app was cancelled, there was a call out from microsoft to switch to skype.

1. wordfeud. you can get the app via a workaround from the developer website for windows 10 mobile and windows 10.

2. 2020: my country. great app. weeks of fun.
