Nice Weather Flow updates for Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps

Day by day Windows Phone is perfect by the time going. It is more coming in nice features we need. We love it when apps get updated, especially when it’s one of our favorite apps. One of which is the Weather Flow. It has been on our favorite apps list for quite a while because it is well designed, and the developers keep it updated. Today they have sent out updates for both their Windows and Windows Phone apps.

The phone update will be important mainly to Windows Phone 7.8 users. They now get the double-wide tile, complete with rich or metro themes. The tiles can also now show minimal data or full weather forecasts for the week. Now 7.8 users will have most of the features that WP8 users have.

The Windows update gets some love for the live tiles too. They now have the same rich and metro theme options of the phone app. It also adopts the same detail options as the phone app. Lastly, both apps now support 10 languages. If you use either of these apps you will definitely want this update, and if you’re looking for good weather apps give Weather Flow a try.

Download Instagram for Windows Phone (3rd Party) Called Instagraph

As we can see for now, WP is still lack of apps available on market. But still this OS need more development. One for sure is there is no Instagram for WP as for the moment. But there has been a lot of talk about Instagram for Windows Phone around these parts lately. There have been a lot of official apps arriving on the platform, like Pandora, and it has been making people more anxious for Instagram. Last night WPCentral posted a little teaser saying “Anything is possible” with a photo clearly taken on a Windows Phone and uploaded to an Instagram account. Today we have more information on that app, and a video walkthrough (must be watched on YouTube).

The app is called Instagraph, and it appears to be an officially certified app that can upload photos to Instagram. It doesn’t use the standard Instagram filters. Instead it uses the open source Aviary photo filters. Aviary provides quite a few more options than Instagram users have. After adding filters and applying effects you can then upload the image to Instagram. It might not be the official app that many people want, but this is probably the closest we are going to get. We will let you know as soon as it arrives!

UPDATE: We have learned more about Instagraph. It is not an officially certified app by Instagram. Apparently the developers have found a way to upload images to Instagram without an official API. The interesting part is it doesn’t appear that they have reverse engineered the API, like 3rd-party Pandora apps. This means Instagram can’t suddenly change something and kill the app. We will keep following this interesting app.
