[App] WP7 Calendar - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

posted for my friend, have no internet connection
Hello
WP7 Calendar is now available. This application enable to consult your calendar synchronized with your smartphone.
The application is available through this link:
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=6bbbd974-077f-4217-98e9-1d177b5570d0
There is a trial version to allow you to discover the application, don’t hesitate to download it
The launching price for one week is set to 0.99 then it will pass to 1,49
Good use
Laranzu

Does this works with already existing calendars or you need to add that to the app ?

The app use the calendar associated to the account you set in your phone.
The app recover automatically the appointment set for each account.

And what are the benefits/advantages/unique features over built-in calendar? Why should I buy this one?

Because it displays week numbers, maybe?
I'll give it a try and report back...
Edit: On the Display page (as shown on last thumbnail) maybe you should leave the start and end times free to choose, not everybody does a normal job, you know, just an opinion. And by tapping the tile, day or week (depending on the tile tapped) should be opened instead of the parameters page which IMHO should be last..
Nice app otherwise, the built-in calendar is frustratingly lacking features.

well, the starting point of the project was to offer a week view. It's something that the built in app doesn't not offer
The browsing between the different view is done with flick instead of having to tap on an icone in the application bar. In the build in app to access month view you have an icon for that.
The month view i provide give some usefull information that let you know if you have appointment in the morning, afternoon or all day. The build in app just display text so small that it's useless.
You can swap easily between view by clicking on week number or on the days. Nice when you want to set an appointment in the futur.
For the tile, you have 2 kind of tiles : week or day. The built in app offer only day and for only the next appointment.
With my tile you can have a graphic view of the day or week and/or the next 2 appointment for the current day.
But the best way to discover the app is to give it a try

Its nice application, but only 5 starts in trial mode is very liitle :-( When i set Live Tiles, some options and trial is done :-( Cannot test, 10 starts could be better number...

One definite bug, and two maybes (first one is a bug);
1) When doing AM/PM, it shows Noon as 12AM middle of day - should be 12PM (this is on day and week views)
2) When viewing day, it does not display starting at the start time you select (not sure where it starts, at current time of day you view it?). Week does.
3) My live tile shows nothing when you first pin it. Takes awhile to show anything (I am guessing the 30 minutes).

This one is a critical; if author not implemented prompt tile updates (using push notification), this app is useless (regardless of week view).

1) hmm, my mistake. didn't notice that as i mainly use 24h.
2) when you display current day, time is set to the current time. When it's not current day, it's start à midnight. I have to agree that currently the parameter is not clear. Should be better with the next update
3) The first tile update is not generated from the app. you have to wait max 30mn. it's also something i'll adress in the next version.
Beside the first generation, update are running fine.
Thanks for the feedback, it'll help improve the application.

Thanks. Love the week view. My wife loved it so got it for her's as well.

Following the return of the betas testers and also of the first users, here are the main elements of future V1.1:
View:
- Addition of fixed hour day view (almost finished)
- Addition of a 24hours scrolling week view
Tile: Improvement
- dedicated screen for customization
- Tile preview in the app
- First tile generation made from the app
Number of launch for trail version increased : between 10 and 20 (to be defined)
+ several little things
Delay : Less longer than you wish, faster than you hope 
Benefit from the last days to profit from launching price: change of price Monday
PS: don’t hesitate to evaluate the application

One suggestion, please consider making it open on the day view instead of the parameters page.

It's already done
check in the parameters

Sweet! I can choose any page now!
Thanks

This is a nice app. I'll like it more when it can be used to actually edit the calendar. I understand this is a limitation of the OS and not the app though.
A thought:
I don't like when calendars show Sun at the end of the week. It'd be nice to have the option to have it at the beginning of the week.

Current temperature on Today screen?

Is there a plug-in that will show the current temperature on the Today screen? I'm using SPB Mobile Shell, which has an icon for the condition outside (cloudy, sunny, etc.), but requires a click to get to the temperature. Anyone using anything that will display it without having to click?
Thanks.
You could use the HTC Home plugin and set the Weather tab to be first and to be the default tab. That may do it.
You could try Weather to Go although it appears to show min/max temps by default though not current temp. I dont know if that is good enough for your requirements. The std HTC Home always shows current temps for me when selected as it always wants to update before displaying anything despite being set to update automagically.
I use weather panel. It works great. You can set it for how often you want it to update the weather. It also allows you to view radar images of your area. It is free and although its a couple of years old works very well.

Thanks. No longer free -- 15 day trial, but it looks cool.
WeatherPanel just says it's a 15 day free trial. The developer for this app disappeared quite a while ago and must have turned off the trial before he left. Mine is also supposed to be the 15 day free trial version also but it's been working just fine for at least 8 months now.

[APP] Easy Timer -[R]- 24/02/2011 -[U]- 11/09/2011 -[V]- v1.4 [Mango]

Name: Timer
I'm making this Timer app for windows phone 7. I searched for some timer apps on the marketplace (http://www.appsfuze.com/), I still don't own a wp7 device, working on that . I saw a few apps, but they all don't match the design of wp7 theme, and not all have the functionality of stopwatch or countdown.
So I decided to make an app myself, that matches the metro-design and also matches the theme you're using (light or dark). It has two modes: stopwatch and countdown. It'll be a free app because I'm a student and don't really do Windows Phone programming, it's just what I do in my free time
Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y05BhoMqSss (light theme switch is at the second half of the video)
Some pics: see the attachments
Now I have some questions: what do YOU want to see in a timer app, what functionality can I add to my app? I don't have a wp7 device so I want to know some differences with the emulator (like locking and unlocking the device, you can't emulate that)
UPDATE:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
There are no push notifications because of the complexity of the system (at least for me). Any requests and ideas are welcome! (landscape support is coming in the next version and maybe thombstoning handling)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Ok this version can be run under lockscreen! (don't forget to activate that feature in settings).
Next update I will add the last countdown memory as requested and the ability to try to resume the timers if the program was stopped and reopened.
Greetings and thx for support
Edit: added the .xap package because the marketplace version is still 1.0...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.2:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Most people were probably waiting for this: the timers are now resumed when you close and open the app again! Now you can finally check your mail or send an sms and come back to your timer later.
The timer-start variables are stored, at the launch they are restored. Of course, the alarm CAN'T go off while the app is closed! (WP7 doesn't have multitasking).
Lap times are now calculated correctly. In the older versions you had this bug: you can't receive an sms while a timer was running, now it's solved.
The next versions will add some more usability and requested features (like the memory function, or pause and reset timer buttons) and new ideas are welcome!
I don't know if the latest version is distributed worldwide (I can see 2 versions in my app hub: English and EnglishNorthAmerica) If anyone outside USA can confirm that they are able to update (or fresh install) to 1.2, that will be nice.
I added a .xap for all other people without marketplace, in the attachment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.3:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program is live here: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=4a4bbd3b-4f23-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Not a big update, but some people requested it:
- You can now "export" stopwatch data. You just send an email to yourself so you can use that data later.
- There's a memory function for countdown. The last timer set is now remembered.
.xap file for people without marketplace is in the attachment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.4 Mango features preview:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was typing extended info on the new features here when I accidentally closed the window. So just look at the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCspKWwS8S4
I will release this app soon (1-2 weeks from now) I hope I can still submit to marketplace, my student account is almost 1 year old
The app will still be free.
Oh, just saw some comments more on this! Thanks for the support. I will redesign UI a bit before the release, so it'll use the default time picker.
Other feature requests are not forgotten! Just stay tuned, I'm programming this in my free time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE V1.4 (Mango):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, the app is now on the marketplace! You can update/download it there. The new .xap is also in the attachment for those who still can't use marketplace (HD2)

The only thing i can think of would be to have it play a sound and vibrate once the countdown is complete. That way you could use it for cooking and stuff

Yep, it's already there ^^ (vibration needs to be tested cause the emulator wont emulate the vibration either)
simple , clean , real good looking good work .
hope to see it soon , I am getting this app for sure .
Looks great!
Hope can be released soon
very much interested in this. Will be even better when wp7 will let it run in the background.

I believe it is possible to run timers in the background, by calculating the time between the app was closed and it was reopened. So it's not technically running in the background but is able to update the timer when you return to the program. Unfortauntely though it would not let you signal an alert or anything unless the app is actually open.
The alternative would be to have a webserver for the app; when you set a timer, eg 30 minutes, the app will register this with the webserver. Whether or not you are still in the app, the webserver can send the alert to your phone as a traditional toast notification (via MS servers as usual).
Here's a suggestion; perhaps you could develop this app as freeware, but make it a euro or two for this live tile / toast notification functionality? As it stands, it looks way more metro than the other timers I've tried so far. I need a timer for cooking!

Good idea, I'll look into that!
EDIT: I searched for some more info on toast notifications, but there's one thing that's bugging me.
So I can send and notification and the phone receives it, but if there are more than one app running, then a person might receive a notification that is from another user... Toest notifications are perfect if there's one message for all the users? or does it only send notifications to the phone that has requested that?
I've been searching for a free Timer App (there a already a number of free Stopwatch app) ever since I got my HD7. This is really very timely.
Whatever you have is already good enough as a launch product!
Suggestions:
1. As suggested earlier, to be able to ran even when WP7 is off (i.e. screen is off). Even better, if WP7 is running other app.
2. Have a different font color for the title of the app (probably build into the theme color change or just a separate settings option)
3. Ability to change the Alarm sound.
4. When Stopwatch or Timer is running, to blow up the font size of the running digits to cover the screen size (good feature) and have the fonts in different color (option)
I'm looking forward to your app and if you need someone to help you to test, I'm definitely willing but from what I know, I have to unlock my HD7 before I can do any software testing.
Thanks in advance for coming up with the app.
May I suggest a few names for the app?
1. Free Timer
2. StopW n Timer
3. Timer n StopW
4. Tmr n StopW
5. StopW n Tmr
This...looks...AMAZING!
It is possible to add option for reset en restart automaticly the couldown ?
This application is released on marketplace! Check the first post for more info!
I've tried the application from the marketplace today and while I really like it, there are still two plotstoppers for me:
Like:
- Nice, elegant design
- Fast transitions between stopwatch/timer
Dislike:
- The last set timer isn't saved. If I use the timer for my 5:40 boiled-egg every morning I have to set the timer everytime anew. Would be good to have a "reset to last set time"-option that is saved when exiting the application.
- The application really needs to prevent the phone from going entering standby-mode. As long as the timer or the stopwatch is running the phone and the display should stay switched on.
Maybe you could considering implementing my suggestions.
Thank you for your app anyway

Yes, the tombstoning is a big issue. The next update will have a better support for this feature. I hope I can prevent the screen for turning off.

[APP] - TrackUrSelf -[U]- 16 Jul 2012 1.21 (Fixed)

Name: TrackUrSelf
Having been an avid user of windows phone and a GPS enthusiast, I have always wanted to create an application which use this technology. rather than develop an map application, I decided to use the background agent of windows phone 7 and create an application which tracks your movement. This is very useful for hiking/trekking adventures as well long drives.
This application only tracks the location and displays it on the viewer. The locations are never sent out (other than skydrive backup), so this is not a stalker app
I would welcome your views and feedback on this application.
Changelog:
+ Aerial mode added
+ KML Export/Backup to Skydrive added.
+ Added Live tile with back tile info
+ Background image for the app and skydrive page.. looks better now
+ Fixed a bug, which was not letting you a take a backup without quitting the app.
+ Filename has Date&Time appended, which would enable multiple backups being stored in your skydrive (should have been there in the first place)
+ Fixed crash bug while updating live tile through background services. Forgot about cross access thread exception.
+ Implemented crash log reporter
You would need a developer unlock phone to sideload the application, it does NOT need any interop unlock or full unlock to launch it.

Hi darthveda,
Looks like a nice app, but I wonder how this app will influence your battery life? When hiking you generally do not have wall-plugs at your disposal to charge your battery when needed.
How often does the app store your position?
it's 30 minute interval, pre-defined by WP7. It's a periodic task. I am running it on my system for over 2 weeks now, haven't had major power usage due to this.
Posted new version
Updated with the newer version
The app looks interesting. Is there a way to export the data that is generated?

I waited 7 months for this to be released and I can tell you it works , its actually amazing and could be a life saver , this app might just help people considerably with rescue as well!!

At this point, NO. The reason is for privacy reasons but will look into implementing this feature in the next update.
As of 1.1, you can now track your position whenever you want apart from 30 minutes interval. And I have made sure not to store the location if it is same as before. Regarding battery usage, I don't have major impact on my battery usage.
Well can store the positions as a log file , and possibly upload the log files , i think it would be incredibly useful to be able to log the coordinates , whether its every 30 minutes or more (less) , just thinking how usefule this info could be!
Ok will implement it, I am not sure if wp7 allows me to write word files if it does then i will write a table in that itself
else a normal csv file would do i guess.
Also, adding the map modes as an option, right now it is street, will enable hybrid, satellite modes as well. This was a suggestion in marketplace reviews
Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep it coming
i used this app yesterday on a small scale , just a few miles and I have to say I like i will continue to test it as this is a unique kind of app!
Thanks Vintage144.. am waiting for MS to approve the app update, don't know why they take so long to do that. After that I will work on 1.2 with the new features requested.
Hi Guys, For Spain winning the euro 2012 , here is my treat.
I have updated the app to 1.2 with the following features:
1. You can now change the map view to Aerial mode and revert back
2. You can now update the tracked locations to a KML file and store it in your skydrive.
Please check and let me know if anything didn't work or you have any suggestions to be made
Size of 1.2 XAP is 0kb upon download mate, might need to re-upload for us? :good:
Size of 1.2 XAP is only 0kb
I downloaded the 1.2 version and it was 550kb, i have re-uploaded the version again with the suffix new in it. Let me know if you still have the problem, will upload on skydrive and share link.
very good....

Few days back, I started learning about shelltiles and have implemented a live tile update with a back tile info as well.. (yeah, that's how i learnt WP7 programming, through my apps )
Can you guys tell me if it sounds a good idea and looks good?
Fixed a critical crash bug while updating the tile through background service, forgot about invalid cross acces exception. Because of the crash WP7 was disabling the background agent. Nice feature by the phone took me a while to recognize why it was behaving the way...
Please install the fixed XAP version.

[Q] Usable month view in calendar?

Here's a question to the WP8 insiders:
Will the month view in Calendar finally show anything readable?
The current WP7.5 month view shows some illegilible miniature entries on days with any appointments. So you know there's something on that day, but to see what it is you still need to open that particular day.
So let's say you're trying to find a free time slot when arranging a business meeting. You get your Windows Phone out, open Calendar (which goes pretty quick from the live tile), call up the month view ... and here the misery starts. If there's a day that looks promising, you have to open the day and close it again, open another day and close it again, open ... you get it.
What I'd really like to see is a month view that's actually usable. Why not make use of landscape mode for a fully legible monthly grid? Or maybe do a preview area under the month, like the iPhone or Nokia N9 do!
So, to anyone who's had their hands on a WP8 or WP7.8 device:
Is Microsoft addressing this?
(for if not, I'm not buying)
Thanks,
N.
I think until now noone of us had held a WP 7.8 or WP 8 Device in his/her hand.
But did you try "Week View"?
This seems to be pretty nice
http://www.windowsphone.com/de-DE/apps/75848ed6-d550-4090-8e9b-50637f55faaf
Thanks, win98. Never heard of Week View, but the month view in Week View (!!) looks pretty decent. Can we have that by default please!?
The problem with week view currently is that it can't create appointments (at least to my knowledge). So you can look for an open slot in Week View, then remember it, open the calendar app and finally create your appointment there.
Rumors are (leaked skd) that there will be an AppointmentTask for 3rd party apps to create them like there is already one for contacts..
So no need to worry, if ms doesn't inlcude something like that 3rd party apps will do the trick...
I agree that the calendar in WP could use some improvement. How do I find "Week View" (WP7.5)?
Thanks!

Pebble Apps Wanted

Thought I would start a thread for Apps Wanted, hoping some enterprising devs might see the list and pick some to try. Here is what I am thinking:
- Respond with App Name in the subject to this post
- Provide as much detail as possible here to provide a baseline of what you are looking for
- Add info such as any help you may be able to provide, or if you are willing to offer up cash or other incentives
- When/if there is an app to test you can provide a link
I will make sure to provide a list here of all of app requests so that we have an index file for reference:
- Pebble Smart Start: An app that will allow the user to start their vehicle remotely
- Pebble GeoCache: An app that provides simple geo-cache readout on the Pebble (Lat/Lon)
Reserved
Reserved
GPS for Geocache
Love the apps that are already there for navigation and sports links, but would love a basic GPS readout app that shows the following data:
Latitude
Longitude
Altitude
Heading
Bearing
How about Google Glass App?
Not really a coder myself, but there was a Dailer app, which allowed users to search and call contacts by using T9 typing (with the 3 buttons on the right). I wonder if this would be possible with sending sms and typing with T9( we know Glance allows pre-set messages = so sending messages is possible)
Just a little something i wish was out there.

..or maybe it would just let you pick a top 5 or top 10 numbers to dial? then should be easier to scroll the list and pick the one you want to call
You could check my app - A countdown timer. Also, if anyone knows coding and wants to help me, PM me as i dont have a pebble
Link to the App- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394856
A great app would be to be able to have your pebble turn off at scheduled times. May be harder to get it to turn on but at least this would save battery.

I'd love to have an Android/watchapp application which:
Can start/pause/stop MyTracks recording
Shows current time (in "status bar", top of the screen, small), current speed (big), travelled distance (like bike computer)
if possible, shows google maps map on the watch (just a nice-to-have thought)
if possible, longpress up/down could fire watchapp (PebbleDialer)
I'm a software engineer, who never developed for Android or Pebble, but i can contribute any work i can handle .

I have a few ideas for how you can do this...
1. Canvas app - create a calendar on google calendars with just their birthdays. On Canvas, create a watch face with a field that pulls data from a calendar and configure it to only pull from the birthday calendar.
2. Tasker and pebble notifier - with pebble notifier, you can send tasker notifications to your watch. With tasker, you can program it to notify you on certain days which are your friends' birthdays.
Thoughts?

Maybe this app fulfils your need, it displays simple Lat and Long of your current location:

Oi! Where's your phone?
Having lost phones in the past an app to vibrate the pebble if the BT connection drops for longer than a minute (maybe the duration could be configurable) would be useful.
Would probably need alarm style snooze and dismiss options so you could snooze it if you're out of range momentarily and dismiss it until the next reconnect if your phone battery has died or similar.
Something like this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pebble so I was surprised to not find one already, I've seen a few phone apps doing the reverse and bleeping the phone when out of range but that doesn't help me realise my phone is missing it just annoys the thief into turning off the phone.
I'm not a coder beyond 10 print hello 20 goto 10 but if anyone else thinks something like this would be useful I'd happily beta test.
Thanks

I'd like a better stopwatch/alarm app.. Also a contact app that works better than the current one with the 3 button interface. I'd like to scroll by groups of letters, like top button is a to k, middle is l to s etc.. And then scroll through those letters.
I know this is a long shot, but having a torque plugin would be cool to show 2 or 3 preset dials like engine temp and maf values cause when I'm working on my Audi I like to monitor certain things but don't want to get my phone all greasy.

Yes, this exactly. I got my pebble a few days ago and I've been looking for something like this. There are already apps to ring the phone from the watch and even a notification on your phone if your watch gets disconnected but I would very much like the watch to vibrate if it gets disconnected instead of the phone
