It's been a big week of working on the Windows Phone platform for us. We have a pretty good update coming for the LCARS Interface for Windows Phone app, but first we are happy to announce a brand NEW LCARS app for Windows Phone!
LCARS Personnel is an alternative to the People hub for viewing your contacts and for a limited amount of adding. Windows Phone is fairly strict when it comes to your contacts, and so our ability to replicate every function of the People hub is not currently possible. We have, however, included every function of dealing with contacts that is available through Microsoft's APIs!
The app lets you view the "Starfleet Profile" of any of your contacts, and also to add new ones with a good portion of the properties available. Interestingly enough, some details can be viewed by LCARS Personnel that cannot be added when adding a new contact with the same application. Some properties (including contact photos) can only be done through the People hub. When you go to save a new contact, it will import all of your entries into the People hub where you must confirm the new contact. It is at that time which you are able to enter additional details that are not possible to add from a 3rd party application and this is the same restriction imposed on any 3rd party contacts app you will find in the store.
Oh, and the best part is, this new LCARS application comes to you FREE, and also AD-FREE!
That's right, no purchase price and no annoying banners to get in your way either. While there are some costs associated with creating these applications, we feel that everyone should be able to have a little taste of LCARS even if you don't want to buy anything. This application comes with the same sounds and animations that are available on our other LCARS apps, and is available for both Windows Phone 7.1+ and Windows Phone 8 today!
