With summer officially around the corner, there’s a host of apps for your Windows Phone that can help you make the most of the great outdoors.

If you’re looking to get more out of the extended evenings by getting fit, the Microsoft Health app can help keep track of your goals.

If a staycation is on the cards for the May bank holiday weekend, download the Met Office weather app to make the most of the sunshine, and avoid the inevitable downpours.

For those jetting off on holiday, the Kindle app means you can pack light and still enjoy your personal library while you sun yourself on the beach.

Voice Translator Pro helps you break the language barrier and impress the locals – just dictate the words or phrase and receive a translation in up to 40 languages.

To capture these unforgettable summer memories, the new Instagram app for Windows 10 launched last week, and is a must-have social network for budding photographers.

All these and more are available to download on your Windows Phone now.

Met Office
