SophieLens for Nokia is a photo app which adds the current fad of "photo filters" to your snapshots. SophieLens is available in a PRO version for $0.99 but Nokia provides it's users with a free version. The default "Standard" filter pack includes Cinematic, Flare, Mayfair, Roid, and XPro filters. But Nokia offers an additional "Lomo" filter pack for it's users for free.

A majority of current WP8 users as well as those contemplating on switching to a WP8 device usually want one major app in the Windows Phone ecoysystem - Instagram. Instagram is obviously a popular service and the lack of it's availability on WP8 deters new users. Sure, there are those who couldn't care less. They don't use the service and often argue that there are several alternatives in adding these "hipster" photo filters. But the reality is that it's not the mainstream photo filters that makes Instagram what it is, but the social aspect of connecting with your friends just like Facebook. If your friends aren't using whatever alternative you decide to use, then it would be pointless.

Gesture Music Player's newest update makes it near perfect

Gesture Music Player was reviewed just under a week ago and if you've read the review, you'll know that when the app first hit the market about a month ago, I made some suggestions to the developer in the MSFT marketplace review. The first update included many of the features I had asked for. I again made some more suggestions after the first update and in just under a week the developer has updated it again to fix some of the problems and other features I wanted to see.

WP App Review : UC Browser

UC Browser is an app developed by a Chinese software company which makes mobile web browsers. When I first picked up my Lumia 920, I found Internet Explorer to be a bit lackluster in user interface and features. I searched for different web browsers and tried out UC Browser late last year, but at the time, it was a bit slow. Browsing through the marketplace, I came up on this app again and decided to give it another try. The newer update seems to improve on speeds and after giving it a second try, it's a lot more efficient.

Previously known as Car Music Player, Gesture Music Player is as the name suggests, a music player which is controlled based on on-screen gestures.When Gesture Music Player first released in early February 2013, it was called Car Music Player. Since this was a new release, I was hoping that the developer would update it to make it more user friendly, and the newest updates takes it one step closer to becoming a great gesture based music player such as Fluxtunes or the now discontinued Flicktunes found on iOS.
