Because of just how fantastic these apps are, we're doing a triple threat post highlighting all of them as they truly show off, in our opinion, the Windows Phone design aesthetic. Yous can read below or just to skip to our easily on video to see them in activeness.

Breez

Weather forecasting apps are very popular on Windows Phone and anybody has their preferences for what constitutes a worthy one. Breez is a completely free (and ad free) weather app that falls into the "light" category. There's no Doppler radar or avant-garde imagery here, instead you're getting the current conditions, three solar day forecast and 24 hr weather. Barebones.

But what makes Breez highly engaging is the gesture back up, a common trait amongst vivmotion's apps. The main brandish reveals the current time, location, temperature and atmospheric condition. The background color reflects the fourth dimension of day/weather. Swiping downward from the top reveals a three day forecast while swiping up shows a 24-60 minutes one. That final gesture is quite unique as it slowly cycles through the hours changing the background and relevant data equally you progress. Y'all need to see it in action, so scout our video to see what we're talking virtually.

The app also has a double sided Alive Tile with current conditions and a forecast. It'due south simple but well done. Unfortunately there's no lockscreen support—yet—though we promise the programmer adds it in a time to come update. Multiple locations are likewise supported.

Flashlite (free and Pro)

Flashlite is what information technology sounds like, but more than.

Like the previous apps, flashlight tools are very common Windows Phone only Flashlite does bring some unique features to the table. For example, the app has an optional compass built in. It also is a battery meter, complete with an optional Live Tile to display that info—fifty-fifty if you don't need a flashlight, it makes a nice battery meter app.

The flashlight itself is more than a simple on/off with the LED, instead it'southward a variable frequency strobe calorie-free so that you can change the glimmer rate on the fly. Perfect for getting someone'southward attention (or inducing a seizure), the tool is but shrewd. You tin shake the device on or off to operate the flashlight or you lot can utilise the camera button instead for that prissy hardware fundamental experience.

Is Flashlite ground breaking? Not really, it'due south merely washed well and fun to use. Bombardment meter, compass and variable strobe flashlight? It's all in that location at your fingertips.

Wrap Upwards

Breez, TinyDO and Flashlite aren't paradigm changing apps, but they are designed exceptionally well, in our opinion. Breez actually grabbed our attention equally the 24-hour forecast feature was truly exceptional. TinyDO was just crafty equally was Flashlite.

Seeing as how all three are gratis (with the optional paid version for Flashlite), we have to recommend that y'all at least download and attempt the apps mentioned here. If you like them, exit the developer a positive rating in the Shop, after all if you're not paying them at least yous can boost their Store presence with positive feedback.
