'Switch to Windows Phone' App Now Available On Google Play Store And Windows Phone Store

Microsoft announced the ‘Switch to Windows Phone’ apps last week and those apps are now available in Google Play Store and Windows Phone Store. The apps come as a pair, with an Android app scanning your phone for your apps and uploading the list to SkyDrive, and a Windows Phone app which will then post the results of analyzing the list and give the same or equivalent apps.

Android users are complaining that that the Android app does not give app recommendations directly, but given that they would not know anything about equivalent Windows Phone apps or being able to try them out that is probably understandable.

Android App Description:

Are you thinking about switching to Windows Phone and want a convenient way to migrate your app experiences over? Look no further, Windows Phone has an app for that!Use Switch to Windows Phone to see how many of your Android apps are available on Windows Phone.  Just run Switch to Windows Phone on your Android, and this app will check to see if your installed apps are available in the Windows Phone Store. It’s that easy.

Then (if you choose) Switch to Windows Phone can save your results so you can retrieve them later on your new Windows Phone and install the apps. You don’t need to remember every app you had on your Android, and you download only the apps you want.
