Reinstaller bumped to version 1.7 with improved interface

Reinstaller is a free little app available for Windows Phone that aids consumers in starting fresh on a new handset, or when reseting a Windows Phone. The app essentially does exactly what the name suggests - it reinstalls apps already purchased by connecting to windowsphone.com.

Once the user has logged in and connected Reinstaller to the official Windows Phone website, Reinstaller pulls down all previously installed apps (both paid and free downloads). Instead of searching the Store for each and every app you've previously owned, Reinstaller provides a useful shortcut.

The app has recently been updated to version 1.7, which includes a new interface to match changes applied in the past to windowsphone.com, as well as the change applied to reflect the fact the Windows Store doesn't report different categories. Check out the new look in the screenshots below.

Overall, the new interface looks great and is in-line with the main colour scheme of Windows Phone. Check out our review of the Reinstaller app for a more in-depth look at the service available and how to use it effectively.

You can download Reinstaller from the Windows Phone Store for free.
