Microsoft has released a new tool aimed at helping people switch from an Android smartphone to a Windows smartphone.
AppComparison, an app for Android handsets, scans the device for apps and then finds the corresponding Windows apps. If the app can’t find exact matches, it suggests the Windows Phone equivalent. For example, since Google Drive is not available to Windows Phones, the AppComparison tool points people to Microsoft’s OneDrive app instead. The idea is to show Android owners which of their favorite apps are available to Windows handsets. The app also shows off some of the most popular Windows Phone apps in the Microsoft Store.
Microsoft’s AppComparison tool is free to download from the Google Play Store.
