Top ten Windows Phone 7 apps decided by you

Posted April 27, 2011

Apps

We recently posted what we think are the top ten essential apps for Windows Phone. As expected, some people disagreed and thought other apps should make it into the top ten.

We wanted to find out what your top ten list would be and so, to keep it democratic, we set up a Facebook Question with the help of Windows Phone UK on Facebook.

A list that started off with zero apps soon became filled with suggestions, with a totally of 79 apps nominated as people’s favourite. However, at the same time you were able to vote on these nominations, which created this clear-cut top ten app list.

  1. Facebook (69 votes)
  2. Birdsong (41 votes)
  3. KD Helper (28 votes)
  4. IMDb (18 votes)
  5. Shazam (17 votes)
  6. 4th and Mayor (15 votes)
  7. Twitter (14 votes)
  8. Own This World (10 votes)
  9. Last.fm (10 votes)
  10. Chicks’n'Vixens (10 votes)

Out of 374 votes and the 79 apps, these were the ten best. What do you think – still think any awesome apps are missing? Let us know in the comments.

Thanks for this democratic Facebook Question :)

Finally my apps Friendly Budget and Debts Controller have 7 votes. It’s better than BBC, Amazon, Foursquare… :p

Flickr as the most useful app, and Premier League + for the best sports app.

Just got myself a WP7 handset so interesting list but pretty much sums up the status of the app store. I love the UI but the app store prices are totally crazy – why is everything so expensive?
