5 Windows Phone Alternatives to Top iPhone and Android Apps

Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system launched three years ago to critical acclaim and rather disappointing sales. Since then, it’s slowly been crawling its way into relevancy by adding support for more modern processors and partnering with Nokia to produce hardware comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

While sales of Windows Phones have grown over the last year or so, the number of new must-have games entering the Windows Phone Store at the same time as they do iOS and Android haven’t. Although they sometimes arrive eventually, the phenomenon has left many users with the impression that Windows Phones users don’t have many of the same experiences available to them as their counterparts on other operating systems. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are 5 of the best Windows Phone alternatives to apps available on other platforms.

FileBox (Drop Box)

There isn’t an official app that allows users to update and download things stored on their DropBox accounts, but that doesn’t mean that users can’t access these files anyway. FileBox allows users to add and delete files from the cloud storage service on their Windows Phones free of charge. [ Download File Box from the Windows Phone Store for Free [1] ]

Baconit (Reddit)

Like Twitter and Facebook, Reddit is one of those websites that people who use it can’t live without. Baconit brings nearly all the functions that users would normally need to head to the web to use in a native Windows Phone application. [ Download Baconit from the Windows Phone Store for Free [2] ]
