    Question What Apps do you miss on the market place?

    I think everyone of us knows a few apps, which are available for android or iphone, but not for windows phones... Most of them can be replaced by another apps on the market, but which app do you really miss?

    i miss a dropbox app, because i'm working on projects with other students and it's simply the most common and easiest way of filesharing for teams!

    Dropbox is definitely a miss for me. Feedly is another, but I'm composing a list of RSS clients that are available for Windows Phone so I can help other people who might be trying to find a good RSS reader, too. I guess Dropbox doesn't feel as though it can compete with SkyDrive, which is a real shame.

    I don't miss any. Windows Phone is my first smartphone OS.

    I know there are a lot of requests for a Windows Phone app. I rely heavily on Dropbox too, so that kind of sucks

    I don't have a data plan, so I would need to watch out to avoid data charges. I hear Apollo will have a data blocker similar to ICS's data blocker, but I need to be sure that I don't get any false charges

    I really just miss the games like DrawSomething and Words With Friends. Those are impossible to replicate because the reason I play them is so I can compete against friends. This is how Zynga makes money. They suck you in because your friends are playing.

    I was hoping I would be able to continue using Mint on my phone, but it looks like they haven't made an app yet. I switched to Pageonce and it seems to be going okay, though. I also miss having PayPal on my phone, but it's not terribly important.

    Zynga is one of my least favorite developers, not only because of their blatant copying and non-competitive practices, but their refusal to support other platforms besides iOS and Android is maddening

    I use the Steam app on my Android phone a lot and really want Valve to work on production of a WP7 version.

    I've never been that into PC gaming, how does Steam compare to, say, an Xbox?
