5 Featured Windows Phone Apps of the Week (V)

Like every Friday, here is the new summary of outstanding applications that we must see for our Windows Phone. This time, we have an Indian from each town, because there are applications for tourists, PDF readers, and more.

Foxit Mobile PDF, an alternative to Adobe Reader on Windows Phone

If Adobe Reader may not be comfortable for you to use, another client has arrived that is quite simple in what it does, but it does it well and with slightly better fluidity than Adobe's Reader.

Foxit Mobile PDF allows us to view PDF files that we want to download to our smartphone. But in addition to reading those that we download, we can also read those that we save on our phone or on the MicroSD card.

The use of the application is simple, since its options are not very varied either. But for example in the navigation of the PDF pages is very fluid and allows us to put it in a horizontal and vertical position. It also has a word finder, if the PDF is not a scanned book.

The application is completely free, and it works quite well, so feel free to take a look at it to see if it can meet or not with your expectations.

Hangg, organize meetings and see if the participants are on their way or not

Have you ever asked yourself “where is so-and-so? He had to be here 20 minutes ago”? Hangg is an application that aims to solve this problem, because with it we can create events and invite friends or acquaintances to it so that they not only notify you of the meeting, but also so that we know where they are.

But be careful, Hangg is not a spy application, since we we can only know where a participant is when the meeting or event startsIn addition to that, and according to the description, Hangg takes great care of our personal information and encrypts it to avoid problems.

The only bad thing about Hangg is that for it to work, the people we invite must also have the application installed on their smartphone. And Hangg, at least for now, is only available on Windows Phone.

That aside, Hangg is a very interesting application, and with great potential. So if your group of friends all have Windows Phone, feel free to share this tool with them.

TaskCrunch, a Todoist client for Windows Phone

Todoist is a web service that allows you to manage tasks and synchronize them across many platforms. And in the absence of an official client for Windows Phone, TaskCrunch comes to offer us a solution for all people who use this service and have a Windows Phone.

TaskCrunch will let us create and modify tasks that will then be synchronized with Todoist These tasks can be organized by categories and set reminders so that later reach us on our smartphone or desktop client. In addition to that, it also has a summary of tasks carried out to control whether our productivity is growing or not.

This application works well, and has a simple interface (perhaps, for some palates, too simple) and easy to understand.

It's also interesting to know that the folks at Todoist bought the developer the app and asked him to work for them, so we'll probably see new design and features for later.

TaskCrunch is free, but some features require a Todoist premium account.

Tripwolf, all the relevant tourist information for a place on your Windows Phone

Tripwolf is an interesting application for all Windows Phone users who often travel the world. It has complete tourist guides that we can use to learn everything about a particular city.

Tripwolf guides have information on tourist attractions, local neighborhoods, transportation maps, dining and nightlife information, and much more.

Basically it is a paper guide that is bought at airports, but inside our Windows Phone.

Tripwolf's interface is intuitive and works well, although it could use an improvement in the future to make it more attractive. The information you have, however, is super valuable and complete.

Tripwolf is a free app, but city guides are paid ( although there are many free ones too). It is available on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8/RT

Briefcase, an interesting file explorer

If perhaps the browser that comes by default in Windows Phone is not a bit simple, Briefcase can be an interesting option to take into account. It has integrated not only functionality, but also an attractive and easy-to-understand design for users.

Obviously, with Briefcase we can access all the files we have stored on our Windows Phone. Inside the application it will allow us to rename them, delete them, or copy or move them to another part of our smartphone.

But, in addition to that, it also has the possibility of pinning folders or files that we want to see often.Another functionality that it has is that it lets us make multiple selection of files and send them to services like OneDrive or to our email.

The design is attractive, simple, and functional, and has very short response times, making browsing very comfortable.

Briefcase is a very interesting application to keep in mind, since, in addition, it is completely free.
