The Windows Phone app for Desktop can Help you Manage your Device

Windows phones are doing increasingly well taking more and more customers from the big two phone platforms Android and iOS. However they are still catching up in some areas. For example there?s no unified shop and sync software like iTunes. Many see this as a good thing and fortunately you can still use the Windows Phone app for desktop to fill in the gaps. This free software can handle the syncing process to help you make backups.

Syncing Made Simple

The Windows Phone app for desktop essentially lets you sync your device to your PC. You can backup photos music ringtones and videos with this software so you know you have a copy of anything precious. It?s equally useful for porting files over to the phone and managing them easily all in one place. The program has a special feature for syncing podcasts whatever source they come from. The program is still developing so they?ve only recently added things like built-in updates and the ability to sync to libraries on an external hard drive. The UI is very simple and clean fitting with Metro.

Basic but Useful

You may find that this Windows Phone app for desktop is a little basic but at least it gives you options. Being able to manage your files in one place is really handy. On the downside Microsoft?s support for this software is slow moving and it?s a little buggy.

  • Pros

    • Sync all your important files.
    • Manage files in one library.
    • Keep track of your podcasts.
  • Cons

    • Limited features.
    • Can be buggy.

very poor. terrible app. most of the time it doesn't recognise my phone, and when it does the fact i have to sync whole folders is ridiculous. furthermore when I do add or remove music, i find residual info still gets left on my phone - i.e. remove a track, but all the info is still left on my phone, just with 0 songs next to it. Terrible app. trying to get it to work now....

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
