We’ve rounded up the best apps for Windows Phone to help you be more productive, and included a couple of options if you’re looking for additional apps.
Voice Memos
Category: Utilities & Tools
Price: Free
Voice Memos by Creobe is a heavy-duty audio recorder. The app enables users to record when their phone screen is locked and includes the ability to geotag recordings. In the premium version, users can also save recordings as MP3 files, export them to their music library and add images to them. A useful tool for those in need of a better audio app than WP’s built-in one.
Main Idea: Gives Windows Phone users greater flexibility over their sound recordings.
Alternatives: Squid, Mini Recorder
CalendarPro Free

By their very nature, calendar apps tender to be pretty straightforward, however with the frequency that we use them only the very best are worth your time. CalendarPro is among the highest-rated scheduling apps on Windows Phone, offering a smart interface and deep integration with Live accounts.
Main Idea: Advance calendar features that integrate with the user’s Windows Live account.

Box
Category: Business
Price: Free
Box offers 10 GB of free storage space out of the gate – that’s currently 8 GB more than competitor Dropbox (2 GB). If that’s not reason enough to use this reliable and, to date, secure cloud storage service, we don’t know what it is. It’s also cross-compatible with Windows 8 and 10.
Main Idea: 10 GB of free storage and the ability to sync your files to all your devices.
