UpdateAdvisor

What is it: an update prep app

Why we love it: UpdateAdvisor is a handy little app designed to get your Lumia ready for big updates. It can check whether an update is available for your phone, and help you free up space to get things ready. The app connects to the network to check for new stuff, and then suggests files (focusing on music, videos, pictures and podcasts) that you might consider moving to your SD card or OneDrive, or deleting.

Who it’s perfect for: Lumia lovers with tons of files

LINE CubeHeroes

What is it: a match-3 puzzle game

Why we love it: Do Rubik’s Cubes amaze and intrigue you? If so, you’ll probably love LINE CubeHeroes. It’s a new match-three style game in which you need to rotate cubes vertically or horizontally in order to match up 3 or more cubes. The game has Stage Mode and Battle Mode, and you can challenge friends via LINE or Facebook. This Windows Phone exclusive is free and tons of fun.

Dropbox

What is it: a popular file management service

Why we love it: We already have a lot of love for Dropbox and its fantastic Windows Phone app, but a few recent updates have made us love it even more. So what’s new? Well, images are now grouped by date and text can be selected in text viewer, to start with. Additionally, both the UI and startup time of the app have been improved.

Delta Lloyd Bank Belgium

What is it: a mobile banking app

Why we love it: This app may not interest everyone in our community, but we’re always happy to see new mobile banking apps join the Store. They make life so much easier! Delta Lloyd’s new app has all of the features that make banking a breeze, such as the ability to see account balances, transfer between accounts, and pay bills. If anyone here banks with Delta Lloyd, we’d love hear your thoughts on the app.

There’s a new “Shared Links” section in chat info, unread badges in recent search results, the ability to get new messages in the background, improved search, and messages marked as read when offline.
