I play scramble with friends, draw something, and words with friends with my wife. Are there any of these games on the wp7 marketplace? If not are there third party apps that are like them?

I moved on from my mytouch 4g slide. I cant stand not being able to play games with my friends
There is an app called "Spell it" on the market that is similar to "Words with friends."
"Words By Post Free" is almost identical to Words With Friends and is available on Android, iPhone, and WP7 so you can play all of your friends, despite their platform. "Wordament" (also a free app) is very similar to Scramble With Friends, except you don't play with one person at a time...you compete in a live game against everyone else playing at that moment. Your score determines your ranking and you can see how others scored, common/obscure words, etc. To my knowledge, there is not an app like Draw Something available yet, but there probably will be soon. Hope this helps!
Edit: I have found an app similar to Draw Something--though the reviews note that it is a bit glitchy. Hopefully this will be fixed by future updates. It is called "Draw and Guess."
This is perfect,thank you. Hopefully the windows market market will catch up with the others

I see several steam apps, (as in Valve's digital distribution service) on the market, but as they likely require me to enter my information I thought I'd check in here first and see if anyone is actually using one without issue.
Has anyone tried any of them? I dont want to enter my information into anything that might be malicious
I've been fantasizing about a Steam app for android [or onlive], but I don't think there's any reasonable way to actually play your Steam games since they're windows (or mac) only, aside from doing something like vnc or some onlive-like service. I'm not familiar with any of the apps out there, but I wouldn't bother. At best it looks like they just offer a quick way into the forums, etc.
On a side note, onlive may eventually be available. Supposedly the Flyer has some capability, and I vaguely remember reading an article on Onlive developing more apps and a 2nd gen controller to be used on devices other than their microconsole.

Haha, I suppose I should have posted what I wanted to do... durr.
I'm really just looking for a nice, integrated storefront in widget form instead of as a webpage. That, plus steam friends/community functionality, would be all I really want from a steam app.
I of course realize there is no way that we're going to be playing our steam games on our Nooks any time soon
I have a steamapp on my nexus one, All it can do is show you who is online, and a bit of other information. No chat APIs have been released by valve, there isn't much you can do that you can't do on the webpage

That looks to be about what I wanted. Much thanks
Do you know if it has a widget, or is it just a straight app?
Hi folks,
i recently read an article about an app called WalkSafe. It basically uses an algorithm to detect incoming cars using the camera while you are walking on the street and calling. It basically can save your life So I wanted to download it form the market, but found out it was not compatible with the Wildifire. So I downloaded the app from some filesharing website (the app is free so no piracy ) and installed it. But it just forever hangs on the startup screen (when there appears a bar under the status bar with the name of the app). Is there a fix for this? Is it wildfire related or app related ? I couldn't find anything on the web so far...
Thanks in advance
So you are ready to give your life into the hands of an app algorithm rather than waiting for a bit and getting off the street for texting/calling? Whatever floats your boat.
Anyway, its most probably the app itself. The devs have probably not configured it for low end devices.
Its not that i will trust this app, i was just curious to see if it works. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion

i'm new to Android and i gotta say, i really like the Android App store better than the iPhone's.
anyone else in the same boat as me and liking it?
seems to have alot more apps (and alot more free USEFUL apps). of course, this is probably because Android phones are so customizable & open.
two things i'd like to see is:
1) improvement of the screenshot / sample pictures in the description of each app. the ios sample pictures are high quality. the Android's sample pictures are honestly just terrible.
2) a way to order each app by: highest to lowest price; average user review; free to paid; etc...
otherwise, the Android App Market has been a very nice surprise for this former iP guy
Recently switched from an iphone and I love the android app store
only thing is that a developer is most likely to make an app for the apple market before making it for the android market. like that game temple run
Have you been to the webpage on your desktop computer? You get a little more functionality there. And you can see a little bigger screen shots. If you're signed in, you can push the apps right to your phone from your computer.

The pictures are likely not very good resolution on the Note because they were taken on a phone that isn't as high of resolution as the Note.

I'm the opposite. I like the Apple app store better. For some reason I can always find something interesting to download on my iPhone while browsing the app store, but not on my Note. I also don't like downloading an app and having it tell me it's not compatible with my Note.

that won't happen if you login to your gmail account that you setup with your Gnote. once you're logged in, it will only list app's compatible with the Gnote (unless you specifically Search for an app and it isn't supported by the Gnote.)
someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that's right
Market seems cheaper price and more free quality apps.
I love using the website and it pushing to my device
The market app seems faster.

I don't know. What I do know is that I tried to install some app that I was excited about and it told me no.

Yes when signed in on the market site it won't let you download apps that aren't compatible with your device. Like Google Chrome Beta, grrrr!!!
Hi everyone
I'm looking forward to buy a new phone and i'm stuck between lovely lumia 920 and iphone 5
Can u guys give me a quick review about negative points of this phone? I mean in your own opinion.
And what are possible ways to install apps ,free or paid, on this phone?
Tnx so much
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
I am going to answer simply becuase I am courteous. The MS store is just like the Android Market or the iPhone app store. There are paid apps and free apps. Although most of the better stuff has to be paid for and the prices run from about 2 bucks and up.
Negative points? Hmm let me think...... It's not an iPhone.. Seriously, why would you want to be a sheeple? Nearly everyone and their mother owns an iPhone. Be original..
Seriously though our views of this phone are all subjective.. For example if you read some of the gripes posted such as the light leak which only shows from and extreme angle that you would never look from, or the creaking sound when you press on or flex the case which you should not be doing, or the shade of difference between the white of the display and the capacitive button back lights. These to me are all trivial things and just sounds like disgruntled buyer having remorse for some reason and now are picking the phone apart.
For me who has owned several models of HTC, Motorola, Nokia, and have had experience helping to program and update some Samsung devices, I have to say the L920 is the best built, fastest and smoothest operating phone I have seen yet.
My only beef with the phone which i have posted a thread about is it's lack of having a Flash Player. You can not view embedded Flash media in websites. To view Youtube you have to install a third party app. Adobe no longer supports mobile devices as of last year. So this phone was built with the anticipation of all sites converting to HTML5 and doing away with Flash. However that may be some time and until sites you like convert, you may not be able to view them on this phone if the have flash content. Is this a deal breaker? For some maybe. For me had I known this before I bought it, it would have been a deal breaker. But I am now stuck with it and will just have to wait till YT and other site convert if they ever do. The plus is that no phone created past last year will have the ability to view flash with out third party apps. So this may prompt sites to convert faster.
actually, to view Youtube video, you don't really need to install third party app (MetroTube for example), YouTube mobile site support HTML5 itself, just like VEVO, VIMEO, ... Just browsing YouTube via IE on your phone and enjoy your favorite apps.
About installing apps, there are some ways (easy to use):
- using WindowsPhone (WP) store app: find your app and choose install.
- using WP store (web version):
+ find your app, choose install -> app will be sent to your phone (wirelessly) and installed automatically.
+ download app, copy to SD card and install from your phone.
- unlock your phone and install any apps you could find on the internet.
If you ever missed the old market icon, name, or not having to search through music, videos, books or magazines. Install this it's one of the original android markets it works great and the best part is it won't update on it's own change your settings or anything like.
PLEASE HIT THANKS
Cool! I like the Play Store myself. I have a few magazine subscriptions that I read on my tablets, have a few books(though I've never read them, lol), and have rented a few movies and bought a couple. That said, I suppose there are some people who might prefer the old Market and use it. At least this gives people the option. Even though I'll never use it, thank you for sharing!!
