hey guys it's bran a minimun from pocketnow.com one of the biggest problems with windows marketplace for mobile also known as the app store for windows mobile that it's region-specific so if you turn on your device and you're in Germany you won't see apps that have been submitted to the United States which really cuts down on the number of apps that you can see but there's a new application out from XDA developers that let you switch regionality so that if you are in a country like Germany that doesn't have that many apps you can switch over to the US market and get apps from the united states that have been submitted for that region and of course this works for all the regions in the world so let's take a look at this app so start off right now I am in the app store in Germany so you can see that we have German languages here if I tap on categories there's not that many apps right now I'm used to seeing about 300 apps in the United States but right now I'm seeing about Oh probably less than 50 so let's switch marketplaces let's go to the United States marketplace i'll show you the app that uses the switcher to do that so here i have it in file explorer and i'll put a link on pocketnow.com on how to get it and quite simply you open it up you press the down arrow and let's say we want to go to english language and the united states and i'm going to click go ok so here we are in the marketplace for the United States everything's in English we go two categories will see that there are a lot more apps listed probably about 300 or so now Microsoft has made the claim that they're going to make this regional switcher available I in a future version of marketplace but right now you can get it on XDA developers which comes in handy if you're in other countries and you want to be able to access more apps from the market place for mobile we'll post a link on pocket now calm that's it for now
