Happy Thanksgiving! These are the Windows Phone apps for which we're giving thanks

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! You can tell a lot about someone from the apps they have installed on their phone. Knowing some of their favorite apps gives you even greater insight into that person. Today we're going to give thanks to the apps on Windows Phone that the team at Windows Central appreciates.
Below you'll find three apps that we're thankful for. Check out some the apps and then head to the comments to list the apps on Windows Phone you're glad to see on your phone! After that, go spend time with your friends and family today. We'll catch you all tomorrow.
Daniel Rubino
Sam Sabri
Mark Guim
George Ponder
Seth Brodeur
Abby
Jon
Paul
It's fun to see the apps my co-workers don't just frequently use, but are thankful for on Windows Phone. Daniel is active on Twitter, so it's no surprise that Tweetium is an app he likes on the platform. Mark lives in NYC, so relying on Uber to get from point A to point B is a good reason for him to be thankful for the app. George is big on photography, which is why he edits and is thankful for Adobe Photoshop Express. HappyCow is a useful app for finding vegetarian and vegan restaurants, so you'll find Seth using it on his Windows Phone. Abby is a newshound, so what better app than MSN News to aggregate content from a variety of sources. Jon plays on his Xbox One every day, which is the exact reason you'll see him using SmartGlass. Paul uses a variety of video apps to get his video fix on Windows Phone.
Overall, a solid list of apps. You can't go wrong with using any of the above in their respective categories. Sound off below with the apps on Windows Phone you're thankful for and have a great day!

I don't have fav apps, I love every good app on WP Store. But if i can be thankful about something, than I am thankful for: 1. Having a WP Device (Samsung ATIV S i8750 on WP8.1.1 Official) 2. Developers - For developing and supporting Windows Phone OS in general. 3. Windows Central - For its existance. I read it more than I read sports news (and i am big on sports).

Here are mine:

PhotoShop Express
OneDrive Kind of a mixed bag. -
1) ScrobbleMe. This is my #1 most important app, and if ever stops being supported, I will leave WindowsPhone immediately. This app allows me to use a platform I really love, so this app is just necessity. 2) Music Drop. Much like ScrobbleMe, this app keeps me hanging on. With Music Drop, I'm able to enjoy my Windows Phone without needing to connect it to my Mac or to my Linux machine. I don't use a Windows PC, and I don't like the thought of compromising, so I have my Apple pie and I can eat it, too. 3) Music Hub Tile. The third in a suite of necessary music apps, this app, especially now that they found a way to reactivate the live tile, makes using Windows Phone 8.1 an absolute dream on my 820 or my 520. 4) The HERE suites and Deutsche Bahn app for helping my lost ass out. 5) Turtle Blog Viewer, the ultimate Tumblr app on Windows Phone. Puts the official app to shame. 6) WhatsApp/Viber, for allowing me to keep in touch with my American friends. 7) 6Tag. I'm a bit of an Instagram fiend at times. 8) The plethora of choice offered by subscription music services, including Xbox Music, Spotify, Rhapsody, Nokia Music, and Deezer. 9) Data Sense. 10) VBA8 and any other emulator that lets me play Pac Man games.
-
So many third party apps, 'cuz official ones are still in beta. Happy Thanksgiving! :)
-
A couple of months ago, I would have agreed about MixRadio as being an app (probably THE app) I'm most thankful for. Not anymore. It's been very erratic in the last two or so months. I'm quite sad about that.
-
Happy Turkey day, you can really tell by this list on who is a gamer, who cant get enough tv and who cant keep out to touch....LOL
