Microsoft Outlook Preview

After releasing the Microsoft Word and Excel previews last week, Microsoft has released the Outlook preview after implementing features from the app they acquired, Acompli. It looks a lot like Inbox by Gmail but with Microsoft accounts attached. There are also some features that are from the desktop Outlook program, such as looking at your calendar and sending available times from it. This is all part of Microsoft’s plan to bring all of its services across multiple devices with Microsoft 10. If you are looking for more integration with Microsoft’s services, you should definitely try this out.

TV Remote Control (PRO)

This app brings more functionality to phones that can control TVs. Unfortunately, there is hardly anything in the description, so proceed with caution. The comments are also filled with “this app doesn’t work,” but that seems to be with phone models that don’t have an IR blaster. So, please note: this app likely requires an IR blaster to work.
