Could these be the 10 must-have apps for Windows 10 Mobile?
Windows 10 Mobile is a reality that, although it has been a long time coming and has done so timidly, is already beginning to gain strength and it is to be expected that Microsoft bets heavily on it ella, with the creation and promotion of specific applications for its brand new system so that users feel attracted to its platform.
And it is that the applications are the easiest target when it comes to attacking the Redmond proposal, since in general it is a stable, efficient, elegant system, but that sin of not offering the same catalog as the two rival platforms
These points are not, however, an impediment for us to find in Windows 10 Mobile a series of essential applications of which we have selected the ten that we consider most interesting a priori , which does not mean that they are the only ones. This is our list and the order in which they appear does not mean anything in particular:
VLC for Windows Phone
With increasingly larger diagonals, at least at the top of the range, how can we not use our _smartphone_ to play multimedia content in the form of audio or especially video? And for such a need the VCL application is one of the best options that we are going to find, with support for a large number of formats and free of charge.

Dropbox
The cloud is everywhere and although Microsoft offers its own option such as OneDrive, Generally the queen when it comes to uploading content is DropboxAn application that has been improved with the inclusion of a quick file search and a word search so that saving our content and sharing it is now much easier.

Skype
Skype could not be missing from this list. The application, which is completely free, allows us to chat with our contacts and call them. If you also have a phone with a front camera, you can make video calls. The interface is very well adapted to the Metro style presenting great fluidity and offering great ease of use and today it continues to be one of the most used apps when it comes to communicating with our contacts is about.

Who of those who are in this room right now does not use Whatsapp? I'm sure you all have it installed on your _smartphone_ and although it's not exactly a technical marvel and it has its flaws and problems, we can't do without it despite having alternatives on the marketthe same or better… but the reign of WhatsApp seems to have a rope for a while.

Adobe Photoshop Express
Thanks to Adobe Photoshop Express we have a free and downloadable version very similar (saving the distances) to the Photoshop we all know for PC. An application that offers a great variety of actions for modifying and retouching photos and everything from our mobile, so as not to have to depend on our computer.

Autodesk Pixlr
If Photoshop is not your thing, Autodesk Pixlr is the alternative, because with this application we have access to a simple design program which, although it does not offer all the potential of the previous one, can be a more than interesting alternative for most users who do not want complications when it comes to retouching and share your snapshots.

Fuse
If you want to be informed of everything that happens with the news always up to date in the palm of your hand, Fuse is your application . A really interesting RSS reader that is characterized by offering three interface options: Ribbon style, with the news in panels; Ipsum style, in which only the titles of the sources are; and finally the Square style, with the mosaic news in the purest Metro style.
With a very comfortable reading interface, we can import the news from Google Reader and access it with just a _click_ of the screen. The only drawback, although it's not much, is that it's not free, as it costs 1.29 euros, but come on, the same as a coffee.

gMaps
If there's an app I use often, it's Google Maps. A fixed application on Android and iOS that on Windows Phone I use thanks to gMaps, an application that offers a good number of options both in its free version and in the payment.
And although Bing's maps are very successful, I'm sorry, but I can't resist using gMaps, thanks to which I can access the already known layers map, satellite, hybrid mode and the additional layers of public transport, traffic and weather.Other functions such as Street View or seeing the route between two points are also present, which makes it essential.

And speaking of movies, the Netflix platform could not be missing from this list We have talked on other occasions about the application that allows us to view content via _streaming_ on our televisions, but we also have an app available on our mobiles that will allow us the same functions. A free application that, yes, requires a subscription to the service to be able to use it.
