Just got SongArc the other day and have to say I love it as a game! Simple idea and really enjoyable! It's kinda like a guitar-hero type of game on your phone and you use both thumbs to match lyrics/melody/beats of music. It comes with a few demos but more importantly checks all music on your phone versus which ones have "sheets" set up for them. Oh and it's free too!
I'd also mention WPCentral again for anyone who doesn't have it - so handy for news and app recommendations every day!
Calculator² is a good calculator app.
Dual Shot is a kinda random one for taking a photo of both what is in front of and behind you and pasting them together! Could be good for a self shot of friends at a gig or something? I dunno!0 -

Using a Lumia 800.
Tried the Bar Code Wallet in Tescos yesterday.
After searching my pocket for the phone, entering my unlock passcode, opening the app, then my tescos barcode, before finally waving my phone infront of the barcode reader, it didn't work. I then searched for my keys, and used the key fob barcode instead.
Wonder if its anything to do with some features not working on an OS of below 8.0 (mines 7.8).
Any suggestions for a fuel/MPG tracker?
I was using Fuel Diary, dont remember developer or able to find link, up until about a month ago when it would no longer opened. Gave plenty of information based on your cars advertised MPG, how much you filled with, and price. But had no graphs.
Currently using MPG Tracker by TSoftOne. Gives loads of information back, with graphs, but nothing to compare with your cars advertised MPG that I can find.
Other apps.
Tuneln Radio I use often for a few London and BBC Stations.
Absolute Radio. Only problem I find is, you cant use other features whilst its in use.
Have nokias own City Lens, which for some reason, no longer seems to work, weather useing Data or Wifi. Always asks my to move the phone through a Figure of 8 to configure the phone to its location/surroundings, but then progresses no further.
Finally, still no sign of a BOI app.

That is dependent on the retailer's scanner at the POS system. Your standard 1D barcode scanner will not read a phone screen. A 2D scanner will. 2D Scanners can also scan QR codes. Next time you're in Starbucks for instance you may notice them using a blue scanner which is designed to read phone screens. The type of scanner pictured below will read them too if the screen is sufficiently bright and the image is sufficiently clear. And no this doesn't really apply afaik to the multi-vector barcode scanners grocery stores use.After searching my pocket for the phone, entering my unlock passcode, opening the app, then my tescos barcode, before finally waving my phone infront of the barcode reader, it didn't work.

Has anybody found a good keyboard app? I find the standard QWERTY interface very awkward to use quickly or when on the go.
Ideally I want to be able to use the 9 key phone pad style keyboard.
Only apps I have found so far from google-age are standalone keyboard apps that essentially allow you to type stuff and then insert into a text. I want to add an additional keyboard/replace the original when in standard texting.
Does this exist for WP8, or am I stuck with QWERTY for now?
On Lumia 520 in case it makes a difference. Is this available or standard opn the higher end WP8 phones?
Just found this discussion on the topic
Looks like I'll have to wait it out, or go back to android....0 -
