Apps for a 13 year olds 520

[stickyshocker]

Need some help in deciding what apps to put on my sons phone, hes had it since Xmas but is starting to say hes bored of it.

Would like everyone's help in what to put on it to keep him amazed as such, don't just want games want all sorts of thing that will appeal to him.

Thanks for any help

Check this app out, it is a good one: Akinator | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

LiveGaming if he's into Twitch
Games are a safe bet of course.

Thank you, I have downloaded both.

 

[stickyshocker]

Can anyone else help with recommendations please!

Download more games, more games!

Set up XBOX Live on Windows Phone if he's into that sort of thing.
Ask him what kinds of games he likes as well, so you have a rough idea of what you need to search for.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the OP. Hey, I'm a bit hasty

Why not have 6snap and 6tag? Take note, those kinds of apps are what may be popular with his peers.

Games:
(I mixed paid/free)
Halo: Spartan Assault
Subway Surfers
Temple Run 2 (similar to above)
Asphalt 8, if it's available for 512 MB devices

Of course, you should take a look with him to see what he fancies, i would prefer i had some input when I was 13. (although I was left alone with my ancient gadgets though then, yay)

Thanks guys, really helpful. Only thing is I could do with some apps that are not just games

 

[xandros9]

This list is for anyone, I find them handy universally.

The #1 Toolkit app just recently featured on the homepage is handy for anyone.
6snap if he's interested in snapchat
Adobe Reader, might come in handy at times.
Counters - counts stuff
Dictionary
Files

Messenger if he happens to use Facebook messaging a lot.

Metrotube and/or myTube for YouTube
Nokia Camera
Office Lens if he finds it handy, probably not.
ooVoo/Skype, if he uses those.
Pandora could be nice for music streaming.

Game: Spartan Runner, GBA8

Voice Memos

Espn Hub to keep track of sports, C/net to keep track of mobile news, Mobile Nations for all things mobile not just WP8, Weather app of course, Help and Tips to help him get the most out of his phone, Skype for all things messaging, Checkers, Chess, Pacman for a few quick games, Kindle for books, the list goes on and on.

 

[stickyshocker]

Thanks guys I will look into each, dictionary is probably one that's a good idea I never thought of though

Wikipedia app by Rudy huyn
HERE navigation apps
Maybe header tiles if he wants to customize his start screen a little

 

[bitwise]

If he's into comics or manga, there are a couple of those readers too.
