The Fitbit for Windows Phone app has received another minor update today aimed at addressing some bug fixes with the app. The latest build is version 1.5.178.11521 for those keeping score and there are no new features in the release but is one that all users should update to via the Store app on your Windows Phone.
The Microsoft Lumia exclusive app, Lumia Cinemagraph, has been updated today with the ability to export your cinemagraphs to GIF files amongst other performance updates. For those who are not familiar with the app, Lumia Cinemagraph allows you to take photos and animate them. It’s a fun app – not particularly high on the useful scale – but does a great job. Until now exporting these was a bit of a trick but this update brings the Internet standard animated GIF support so sharing just became way easier.

The OneNote for Windows 8.1 has been updated and it finally brings support for accessing password protected sections in your OneNote notebooks. But it still isn’t complete support which means you still need the desktop version of the app. Why Microsoft? Why?
This morning I saw on my Store app on my Lumia 1320 there was an app update for Lumia Camera. I was giddy as I thought it was the much anticipated version 5.0 of the app (even though my phone won’t be able to take advantage of some of the more cool features). But alas, it is not version 5.0 but rather a bug fix update. Everyone can take a breath now.
The open source media app VLC for Windows Phone has received a minor update today after its initial release last week. The hugely popular app on other platforms has been in beta for several months for Windows Phone but last week got a major update as it prepares to go GA (General Availability) The start was a bit rocky as several users reported bug issues with the app. The developer, VideoLabs, seems to be addressing some of those issues.
The popular 6tag app for Windows Phone has received a minor update this morning, bringing support for the new YEZZ Billy budget conscious dual SIM Windows Phone to the popular Instagram app. This follows up minor update back in mid-December 2014 that brought support to the BLU Win phones. If you aren’t familiar with the 6tag app, it is an alternative app to the official Instagram beta app for Windows Phone and in my opinion is far superior. Functionality wise it is complete and performance is outstanding – two things that cannot be said about the official app. The 6tag app is also one of the higher rated apps in the Windows Phone store with 4-and-a-half stars and over 92,000 reviews.
This morning the Amazon app for Windows Phone received a minor update that has brought stability and performance improvements to the shopping app. The update, version 2.6.81.2 for those keeping score, only lists “bug fixes and performance improvements” in the release notes as what is new in this version. However, I for one, had significant issues using this app prior to this update with it often crashing on me as I was searching for products. This morning at least those seem to have gone away.
