All Windows Phone 8.1 users can now get their hands on Microsoft’s just released lock screen app called Live Lock Screen. If you want to add a bit of color and animation to your normally boring lock screen, this app’s a pretty good one to switch to (despite the fact that its currently in beta).

The app lets you pick from one of six new lock screen layouts each of which have a unique design. The layouts display the date, time, notifications along with a unique unlock animation. You can also set the lock screen to cycle between multiple background images from your photo collection to keep things fresh every time you access your phone. You also have the option of picking a stunning image from Bing every day, if that’s something you find inspiring.

Thankfully, the Live Lock Screen is available for low end devices too despite Microsoft’s initial surmise that the app would require at least 1 GB RAM or more to run. You can download Live Lock Screen from the Windows Phone Store for the price of free and tell us what you think of it.

The fact that Noika releases its own set of apps for its range of Lumia devices is no surprise, but when Samsung does that, one tends to sit up and take notice. After all, Samsung is well known for focusing on its Galaxy apps for Android devices. Nevertheless, the company has launched a business card reader for its Windows devices called ATIV BizCard.

The app uses the camera on ATIV phones along with optical character recognition in order to scan a business card. Alternately, users can use the camera flash, manually click a photo, or make use of a previously snapped photo from the gallery to import the information to the Contacts. The information can of course be verified and edited if necessary before saving.

While there are plenty of third party business card scanners on the Windows Store, its nice to see Samsung make an effort in that direction. You can download ATIV BizCard from the Windows Phone Store for the price of free.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Speedometer, this is a GPS based car dashboard app by Sygic that provides speed camera alerts. The app has over 50,000 fixed speed camera locations and a live community support that reports traps and dangers on the road so you can stop worrying about getting caught speeding.

The developers have now upgraded the app to version 2.1, which brings a dashboard camera that can be used to record videos of all your trips. In many countries, a recent trend has been to scam insurance companies by faking accidents or claiming more damages for less serious ones. Having a dashboard camera helps users to show the results of the video recordings as evidence in case of an incident.

The video recordings indicate the GPS, speed and location information and can be saved by the user at a location of his choice as well as on Sygic’s Azure servers. When the videos are stored in the Sygic cloud, they get processed by the company, which then adds metadata such as location, date, time, speed as subtitles. This comes in handy as it stands as a guarantee that the videos haven’t been tampered with and are a reliable piece of evidence for the police or insurance authorities.

Apart from the dashboard camera, the new update also brings additional improvements and features including thousands of speed cameras which have been added or updated, support for Polish and Turkish languages, speed camera information from TomTom, posted speed limits so you know what speeds you should be driving at, and improvement in manage & export trip logs.

The new dashboard camera is not a free service though. Users are required to pay $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year to avail themselves of the service. You can grab this handy app from the Windows Phone Store for the price of free.

The app also offers cloud support to OneDrive and Dropbox as well as support for multivolume archives.

If you often find yourself moving files between OneDrive and Dropbox, this app will make your job easy for you. Copying, cutting, deleting or renaming files is simple and intuitive as all you need to do to activate the options is press down on a file or folder. Currently, the app offers three themes with Bing wallpaper promised to be included in the upcoming 1.1.0.4 version.

Despite our hectic lifestyle and busy schedules most of us have often stopped for a minute or two to gaze at the night sky and ponder at the stars that twinkle down upon us. Have you ever wondered what those stars might be or if they are part of a magnificent constellation? You don’t have to wonder anymore, thanks to the wonderful app for star gazers called Star Walk.

Star Walk has extensive information on over 200,000 celestial bodies from stars, and planets to satellites and constellations. All you need to do to get initiated into the astronomical journey is to open up the app and point it toward the night sky. You will immediately be able to see information on the celestial bodies you are pointing at. As you move your device you will see the updated information about each object in the sky.

Star Walk has plenty of exciting features. An Augmented Reality icon will help you add the image from your camera to your sky view. The app also features a Night mode that should make it easier on the eyes and save you from staring too long at the screen. A cool “Time Machine” feature lets you gaze at the skies of the past years and even peek into the skies of tomorrow.If you love watching meteor showers, you can use Star Walk to locate the next likely meteor shower and plan ahead for viewing it. And if you get totally excited with your discoveries, you can share your night sky images with friends using the social features.

One feature for the Window Phone 8.1 that people have been wanting for a long time is a file manager. Sure there have been a few third party developers taking a crack at it but nothing official from Microsoft. Until now that is. Microsoft has just announced that they are putting out an official file manager as early as May.

Note that it may not come out in May but it still should be here relatively soon. While they did announce the official file manager they didn’t give much details about it. They did release six screenshots that you can sort of glean information out of. It seems users will be able to create folders, move files, and other typical functions. Since this will be the “official” file manager it should come out well and we’ll keep you posted.

Situation is a unique app that doesn’t really do just one thing but rather does two things! Both of the features that Situation utilizes are great for well…specific situations.

The first feature Situation can do is be a car finder. If you’ve parked in a large parking lot or in a garaage and you can’t find it then Situation has you covered. You simply enter in where the car is with your GPS and it can guide you right to it. The other option is you can take pictures of the general area where you parked and Situation will store that and show you.

The second feature Situation has is a nap assistant. If you have long commutes on a train or subway you may want to take naps occasionally. However, there is the fear you’ll miss your stop. Situation will fix that issue as you can input what stop you need to get off at and it will wake you up for you! In general, Situation is helpful if you find yourself napping on subways or losing your car a lot. Not for everyone but still pretty cool.

One of the more looked at apps/widgets on my Windows Phone is easily my weather app. I think that is true for a lot of people and subsequently there are a lot of different weather apps on the market. Weather Premium by MetroStudio is not “just another” weather app but tries to take a more unique approach to the issue. The end result is actually something pretty cool and worth checking out.

You can see the weather forecasts in Weather Premium in three separate themes; Classic, Clother and Awesome. Note that on the Windows Phone version of Weather Premium you don’t have radar but you do have the basic weather information you could want. So what about these different themes? Well, classic is your basic weather app and shows you various extended forecasts. Clother helps you decide what clothes are necessary for outside and is extremely helpful. The awesome theme gives you a brief snippet of the weather in a humorous tone. All are fairly simple and straightforward but exactly what you need/want in a weather app. If you’re looking for a rather basic weather app that is fairly minimalistic then Weather Premium is for you.
