We have a new roundup of apps to try on our Windows smartphone. This time we have tools that let us see the current weather, create comic-style collages, sort photos, scan cards, and read news.
Meteolens, an attractive weather application for Windows Phone
Beyond the large number of weather applications that we can find, it is always a good idea to see the new ones that are arriving. Meteolens is an interesting option to keep in mind, as long as we don't mind paying for it annually.
First let's talk about the application: when we enter we will see the weather data for our city on the main screen, and if we swipe down we can see more details such as humidity or where the wind is coming from.
If we go to the left we can find the predictions for 24 hours and 7 days. The application has a background photograph to decorate, and it also allows us to generate a Live Tile with the latest predictions.
The bad thing about the application is that to continue using it we must pay an annual cost of $1.99; If it were just a one-time cost, there wouldn't be so much of a problem. And it is that, in addition, except for the fluid interface and an attractive design, it does not have functionalities that add extra value (in fact, it does not have compatibility with the lock screen).
In any case, this does not mean that the application itself is attractive and functional, so it is up to each individual's discretion see if it is worth paying the annual price or not.

Comic IT, create cartoons with photos you've taken
Comic IT is an application that allows you to create comic caricatures with photos you've taken and add text vignettes and more.
When we enter the application we can choose different layouts to put our images, and then in the other options we can find images such as mustaches and bows, and bullets to include text in the photos.
The application is interesting and works quite well. Then when we finish we can save the photo and share it on social networks or by message.
Comic IT is free, but unfortunately you can't get it out with a payment.

GeoPhoto, see where you have taken all your photos
GeoPhoto is an application that allows us to organize all the photos we have taken on a map; Thus, in this way, we can remember when we took a photo and details such as the day and date it was taken.
When we enter, after loading for a while, GeoPhoto will show us on a map all the photographs we have taken in circles. When we click on a circle we can see each photograph and if we then click on it, a range of options opens up that includes more information about the photograph, the possibility of generating a route in Here+ Drive, seeing exactly where we took it, and more. .
The app works runs smoothly and has a short loading time, which also makes it entertaining to see where we've taken each photo.
GeoPhoto is free, but features at the bottom. In any case, if we want to delete it, we simply have to click on the close button (the “X”) to make the payment of $1.99.
Another detail not to be left out is that the application is also available as a universal application for Windows 10.

Feed Viewer, read articles of all kinds from your Windows Phone
Feed Viewer is an application that lets us read news from sites that interest us from our smartphone. It is simple and does what it says very well.
When we enter the application, we must choose the sites we want to follow. Once this is done, if we go back, we can read the latest news from the chosen medium. The good thing about Feed Viewer is that we can read all the articles from the same application; it is not necessary to open the explorer as it can happen with, for example, Flipboard.
The design it has is simple and without many twists. You could even say that it is somewhat obsolete. In any case, it works well and smoothly.
Feed Viewer is a free app, but it only lets you add up to 3 feeds. If we want more we must pay for the premium version.
An important detail to mention is that it is available in Windows 10 as a universal application.

CamCard, scan and save business cards on your Windows Phone
CamCard is an interesting application that allows us to scan personal cards and obtain contact information to later save them on our Windows Phone.
When we scan the card, it will try to recognize all possible information from it to then create a contact. Obviously it is advisable to take the picture in the best light condition possible, in order to get a picture without noise.
Once it is scanned we can modify everything that has been taken wrong, and then save the contact.
CamCard is a simple application without many twists. The recognition system is quite solid, and it manages to recognize words even when there is not enough light. It is also interesting to know that it recognizes several languages, ranging from Spanish and English, to Italian, German, and more.
The application is free, and we can register to remove the restricted use of 60 days. In addition, all the photos we take are synchronized with our account on the CamCard page.
