As a daily Windows Phone user, android user, and former iOS user, I'm curious to hear what apps you think are missing? I moved from my iPhone to Lumia and am only missing a google hangouts app (due to google choosing not to support the platform).

There's no "decent" Weather apps - that's obviously subjective, but WeatherPro for iOS and Android I really liked. I still miss iOS's weather app really, the built-in one on the HTC One (don't know if it's Android's default) is a bit crap - made worse by the fact that different screens of the Android interface seem to think they're in different geographic locations.

Also there's no port of certain apps I rely on a lot like CityMapper, and the best guitar tuner app I've found on iOS or Android: Cleartune.

Have a look at this link[1], you can find reviews for ton of weather apps. Every week a new weather app is released on WP, i am sure you find the one you like.

Last time I used it there were no podcast apps that would update/download in the background. That's an entire category.

I am currently using PODCASTER[1]. It downloads new episodes over wifi when I connect the phone to charge.

The reviews suggest the feature doesn't always work. I've experienced the same from other clients.

The built in Podcast app does that.

The built in app only allows podcasts from their catalog.
