Reddit bills itself as the front page of the internet and for good reason. With 115 million monthly visitors and hundreds of thousands of subreddit communities, there really is something for everyone.

Thanks to r/Windowsphone, a fantastic community of Lumia loving Windows Phone fans who share their news and views on the world’s finest smartphones, that includes us too. What better place, then, to find out which Mircosoft made apps are best. Happily, a redditor on the Windows Phone subreddit recently asked that very question. As usual r/Windowsphone’s redditors delivered. Here are their choices listed for your downloading pleasure. (Spoiler: We love them all too!)
