How many Windows Phone apps do you need to get started? Well, we’ve gathered 15 Best Windows Phone Apps Of This Year 2014. This year 2014 we’ve picked out some of the very best Windows Phone apps for your new devices.

The folks at Facebook have apparently abandoned the official Windows Phone version of Instagram. There has not been an update for the photo sharing and filter app since March and it still has a beta tag. It also lacks a number of features, like being able to upload video, which are in the iOS and Android ports. You are better off with the unofficial 6tag app from developer Rudy Huyn.
2 : Hulu plus Windows Phone App
While the folks at Netflix recently updated the Windows Phone version of their streaming video app, the team at Hulu doesn’t seem to care about their Windows Phone port of Hulu Plus. The app has not been updated since April of 2014. Meanwhile, the iOS and Android versions have both been updated many times, mostly for bug fixes.
3 : eBay Windows Phone App
The hugely popular online auction site has also not updated its Windows Phone app since April for US users, although an update was launched for international users in June. Once again, a number of feature updates and improvements have been released for the iOS and Android versions since then.
