My Little Pony Portal v2 for Windows Phones


Those of you who have Windows phones rejoice! One of the best pony apps out there has been updated and better than before. Everything a brony needs is in this app! Think of it as a universal remote. But with ponies.

See the developer's site here or go past the break for the change log.
See the full article on it here.


It seems though that they currently have no intention of making an iOS and Android versions of the app, so don't go asking them.*throws iPhone* They the creator(s?) have rebuilt it from the ground up and made it more efficient than before. As seen in the image above, it has convenient links to some of the best pony sites out there! (DD not is not in there. We are not what you call "popular." Yes. Shocking.)
