I am one of those people who spends entirely way too much time picking up my phone just for the sake of it, to check and see if I have anything that needs my attention. It may sound kind of limited, but being able to see and interact with these core functions of my phone has done wonders for productivity. Being able to do this from the Your Phone app would be a greatly appreciated addition. For example, I use Asana for work, and can comment on a mention via the notification on on the phone. In the future I would like to see some changes allowing me to interact with some notifications that support it on the phone. The phone notifications feature is a bit lacking, since you cannot interact with the notification, but at the very least it allows for a quick triage of a notification to see if picking up your phone is actually required. Sending and receiving SMS from your PC has been possible for sometime thanks to Google’s Messages app and browser tie-in, but having it nested inside a dedicated application is great. The camera roll function as of this writing is currently limited to the last 25 photos on your phone, but Microsoft is currently rolling up an update that will remove that restriction, allowing you to view the last 2,000 images stored on the phone. Essentially, it is a link to your phone from your Windows 10 PC. It also has one major advantage over its predecessors, Windows 10 and nearly a billion users. You Phone is a take on other services that have existed, or still exist like Push Bullet or Air Droid, but with a far more modern and simplistic approach. Who knows, maybe you will find them as useful as I do.įirst up, an app from a little known company in the Seattle area, Microsoft. I thought it would be fun to share some of those lesser known niche apps with you in the form of a mini review and see what you think. Some of those apps quickly make it into the mainstream and are covered excessively by tech media, while others can often sit in a small, but vocal niche. Every so often you find an app that fundamentally changes how you use your phone.
