A lot can happen in a week, especially in the Windows Phone Store. New apps come and old favorites get updated with new features. Which is exactly why we like to take a little time to reflect and help highlight any cool apps you might have missed. This week we’ll look at Stack, Poki, myTube and others!
New
Stack – We like clean and beautiful apps. The cherry on top is when those apps are very functional. Which is exactly why we like Stack, a new Buffer client for Windows Phone. With Stack you can automatically schedule updates to go out to your various social networks, like Twitter and Facebook. This is an indispensable tool if you’re planning a product or apps launch. Or maybe you just want to increase your social media clout. Grab Stack in the Windows Phone Store. ($1.99/Trial coming)

ROCKRADIO.com – We’re big fans of Digitally Imported (DI.FM). Which means we’re also pretty big fans of its sister networks JAZZRADIO.com and SKY FM. We’re even happier to see ROCKRADIO.com join the Windows Phone club. The new app gives you access to over 40 stations with every genre of music imaginable. Grab ROCKRADIO.com in the Windows Phone Store. (Free/Subscription option)
