5 Windows Apps I Love! #VZWbuzz

Windows Phone Nokia Lumia Apps

by Melissa Stewart

In June I posted about my new Nokia Lumia Windows phone I received as part of the #VZWbuzz Verizon Lifestyle Blogger Program.

In this post I want to share my 5 favorite apps.

Note: At this time there is no official Instagram app, which is a bummer. I also went looking for RoadNinja when I got my phone set up (it’s great for road trips) but it’s only available for iOS & Android.

Twitter <-Of course!

    I recently switched to a Windows Phone and I love it. I use SkyDrive for my on line storage. My favorite app is “Analytics For WordPress”. The app that I miss is “Buffer”. Hopefully there will be a Buffer app for Windows Phone soon.
