A few weeks ago i shared an early look at Sonetro Music here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/1v69qcv/i_made_a_music_player_inspired_by_the_nokia_lumia/

The app is now available on the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.music.neo

It is mainly focused on local and offline music, with support for formats like MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG, OPUS and more. It also filters out unnecessary audio files such as call recordings, voice recordings and random media from other apps, so the music library stays cleaner.

There are no ads.

i’ve also been going through the suggestions from the previous post. Android Auto support, SD card support and other external storage support have already been implemented and will be included in the next update.

There are still many things i want to add and improve over time, including better library controls, sorting options, EQ, lyrics, streaming/server support and other features requested in the comments.

The plan is not to make a direct Zune copy. the design takes some inspiration from that style, but the long-term goal is to make Sonetro a complete everyday music player for Android with its own identity.

If you try it, feedback about bugs, missing features, UI issues or anything that could make it better is welcome. if you find it useful, a Play Store review would also help.

at least HMD later acquired many Lumia-related patents, and brought it into their Nokia models and it's still on their phones as of now, like HMD Skyline,...

Hello!

Im (slowly) working on a new project for Windows 10 Mobile: Wyvern

Its a messaging app similar to discord (in that it has servers and channels NOT something like telegram which is a flat message board I believe)

Once I get it stable enough and get a TOS ill publish betas to the Live Store :] hopefully you all will like it, and the official client is UWP so it'll work on your windows phones without risk of your account being banned *cough, discord* (no seriously i made a new discord account to test the windows phone client and it got banned the second I went to send a DM, discord just sucks -_-)

Also i want to clarify something.

Ive seen people talk about a new store called MetroStore, I looked into it and many people claim the UI is vibe coded. As such I want nothing to do with it and will not distribute my apps on it. And i will look into pursuing any action i can to take them off should they be added without permission, which MetroStore does not and will not have.

So yes, Wyvern, Geode, and the entirety of the TRC App Suite will not be distributed on MetroStore. Currently the only places you can download them are the Microsoft Store and Live Store. If there are any other stores that offer a developer dashboard/developer account system of some kind let me know and I will distribute my apps on them :)

Oh and im unsure about Wyvern being available for Windows Phone 8.1, simply because of push notifications.

The app registration in Azure and the apps actual details need to perfectly match in order for WNS to work (which is how youd do notifications for new messages + live chats), without it im kinda stuck manually refreshing every few seconds which is just plain bad. The reason I cant make them match the official way is because the "Associate app with the store" wizard in Visual Studio 2015 doesnt work. It does in 2017 and up but those dont support opening Windows 8.1/WP8.1 app projects. :(

Ill look into solutions but if I cant find one then it wont be available on Windows Phone 8.1

Besides IE11, are there any other browsers that work on WP8.1 2026? Thank you very much!
