I mentioned it in another thread, but I'll go ahead and make a thread for my Windows Phone app...

Shadow Companion!

I've released the initial version of Shadow Companion, a Windows Phone app for tracking Shadowrun characters' Stun/Physical tracks, edge, karma, and weapons/ammunition.

Currently live is version 1.0.0, but version 1.0.1 is going to Microsoft certification right now and should be live this week.

Includes the ability to have multiple characters tracked at the same time making it idea for GMs.

Each character is able to have multiple weapons, each with individual ammo tracking and a small note for damage.

Release 1.0.1 - Some Visual Tweaks
-Changed main screen backgrounds to make the text easier to read.
-Added stats under character name on main screen.
-Added labels to the character stats on the view character screen.
-Added animations to page transitions.
-Added delete confirmations.
-Added responsive feedback to the weapons on ViewCharacter page to help users become aware that there are context menus.
-Added keywords to make finding the app in the marketplace easier for Shadowrun players.

Release 1.0 - 9/5/2012
-Initial Release

I plan on adding the ability to have characters join 'games' that their GM sets up to easily allow the GM to track stats/damage which will be updated live so it's real-time.
Also have plans to allow importing of .chum files from Chummer, but that's further down on the road map.

Any and all feedback is welcome.

LOL at your thread title One of my friends (MS employee...) has had a couple Windows phones since he's worked there and they've actually seemed pretty damn nice.

I've had a Windows Phone for a year and love it, got my wife to get one too. The Lumia 920 looks awesome (Windows Phone , with considerably better style and better specs than pretty much anything out there, iPhone 5 included (beats iPhone 5 in every spec, except weight).

That's not hard.

A lot of folks I know were expecting the 5 to have some killer feature that once again set Apple as the king of smartphones.

They were kinda disappointed when released it had... pretty much had merely caught up to the rest of their competitors.

Release 1.0.1 finally went live, only took around 8 or 9 days, wish MS would speed up their app approval/publishing process.
