Name the TV Show, a Windows Phone trivia game that carries a tune
Downloaded the trial. Picked the 90s. Heard the Happy Days theme....
Reruns. Duh.
I really want QuizUp for Windows Phone 8. It's free only for iOS (iPhone) and not on anything else. They even claim they hThe only thing you can do on the website is just view your stats. You can't add friends, change your profile pic, much less play the trivia games.
I'm really getting tired of iOS-only developers who make their things very app-specific with a near useless website, when it doesn't have to be.
Microsoft really needs to get more great developers to build only for WP8, because the lack of very unique apps (aside from a few) that are only on WP8, makes iOS and Android still desirable for the vast majority. I'm seriously considering getting an iPad b/c of the apps, and I feel I made a bad decision to recommend my dad get my mother a Surface RT (1st gen) over an iPad because she hardly makes use of Office or any of its special features, hates the camera, and feels bad when her friends have a lot of nice apps on their iPads.
*rant over*
Good
I would like Qrank for Win/WP 8. A lot of fun and similar to NTN that you see in the bars.
