The best Windows 8/RT and Windows Phone apps of the month (IV)

Leandro Crisol: Magnify News Reader

This time I opted for this impressive RSS reader with feedly, with which you can synchronize the application with your account of said service without any problem.What is most striking is its excellent design and its animated interface, as well as the possibility of grouping the topics or news websites as if they were Live Tiles. It has very intuitive controls, which will allow you to quickly go from one piece of news to another, and of course, with support to work offline.

Guillermo Julián: Pouch

A few months ago I recommended Poki here, a Pocket client for Windows Phone, and this time I repeat the theme.Trying to procrastinate less and save reading for reading moments, I found Pouch, a very, very well designed and easy to use Pocket client for Windows Maybe I should to improve the reading mode with vertical tablets, and I also miss shortcuts to mark an article as read or favorite when I reach the end. Otherwise the best I've seen in the store.

Francisco Yirá: One Calendar

Although Windows 8.1 comes with a pretty good Calendar app pre-installed, it has the flaw of not having support for Google accounts, or for including Facebook events (as the Windows Phone calendar does). Luckily, in the Windows Store we find OneCalendar, a calendar application that, along with complying with the basic functionality (showing events, allowing them to be edited and creating new ones) adds compatibility with the types of accounts that are not supported by Windows 8 Calendar: Google Calendar and Facebook. We are even allowed to add multiple Google accounts, with multiple calendars each, and then assign corresponding colors so we don't confuse the events. The only problem I see is that the synchronization of events is not permanent, but occurs, at most, every 8 hours.

ngm: TouchRetouch

Windows Phone has a good list of photo editing applications, just look at the ones created by Nokia, but new ones that add more quality to the process of editing our images are always appreciated, which usually happens if they are focused on a specific task.

That's the case with TouchRetouch, an application to remove objects and details from photos that provides more than decent resultsWell designed and easy to use, TouchRetouch offers the necessary tools to adjust the area covered by the object as much as possible, managing to make it disappear without a trace. Giving it a try costs nothing thanks to the fact that it has a free trial option. If you manage to convince us, we can get hold of it for 0.99 euros.

Carlos Tinca: Herbalist WP

It's not that medicinal herbs is something that catches my attention or what I practice (and actually, everything that comes from the earth for me is plants), but Herbalist WP seemed like a very niche application that those who are interested in subject for sure they will find interesting.

When you start the application, and after downloading the herbal database, you can see all the available medicinal herbs, with their form, benefits and characteristics of each oneIt is completely free, and shows the first 20 herbs on the list, but for $1.99 you can unlock it for full use.
