A lot of people seem to have been confused by what Verizon meant by "apps"...
What they meant is that you can add apps to your shortcuts menu, and from there drag to the home screen.

And as for the twitter app, in the shortcuts menu, click on the "my media" tab and it gives you browser shortcuts to social networking sites such as twitter, facebook and youtube.

My guess is that they put apps in the advertisement to try and generate more sales...

Hope that helps!

Has anyone had any success with non-veriozon applications on their phone? It kills me to pay a monthly fee for an application.

Has Android developed any free applications for the LG enV Touch? I would love to see a Remember the Milk applet for the enV Touch.

got this phone about a month ago and the thing that I dislike most about it is the lie that Verizon touts about app support. there are a grand total of like 45 apps for it, so much for causing jealously. though i love the screens, keyboard, 3g speed, html support, and camera, the lack of app support sucks. however, what can be said for it is that it functions very well in the areas i listed above. for very heavy texting and mild web use, this is a fantastic phone, and for the price, you can't beat it.

I do support for VZW: Good luck. This phone, as stable as it is, and neat as it is, will not have great apps like smart phones. VZW wants you to buy their apps.

I have come to loathe the Verizon ad for this phone. That they make the major selling point its "app-friendly"-ness is borderline insulting to customers.

would be cool 2 see android hacked on to the env touch

Folks, get a "smart" phone if you want any degree of freedom running programs or apps.

"dunb" or "feature" phones are not the path to the goal you seek.

Spend more money you will, but freedom you can attain.

Yeah that app advertisement is some of the most misleading marketing that I've seen in a while. Kind of like Time Warner claiming that their cable is just as fast as Verizon FioS because "we have fiber in our network." It's fiber TO YOUR DOOR that counts. DSL has fiber backbone too, you don't see them claiming FioS speeds.
Same thing w/ Verizon and their bullshit "apps." It's a downright lie. There is no development community for Verizon's in-house OS because nobody wants to sell crappy Java apps through their "get it now" store (which I recommend that you don't use by the way, such a huge scam).
Verizon even disables Java on their Windows mobile phones because they want you to use their store only. They are despicable and I am switching the minute my contract is over.

You know the arrow on the home screen?? its on the right side.. Click on that.. and then there are 2 file choices "Short Cuts" and "My Media" Click on My Media.. and there are links to facebook, myspace, twitter. and others.. you can add some.. but they arent apps they are actual links to the website.. soo.. i dunno

I loved this phone until I saw/touched an IPhone and checked out all the apps available. Verizon sucks. Anybody want to buy a month old VX 11000?

There is an app for the enV Touch for Twitter called 'Tweet Tweet'.

Select Media Center, Browse & Download, Get New Applications, Community and Sharing. Tweet Tweet should be listed there.

Good luck.

I got this phone in Dec of 2009, and if I could rechoose a phone I'd go for the droid. I'm really not thrilled with the LG Env touch.

I used my 2 year upgrade on this thing two months before the Droid appeared. I chose to upgrade to the env touch because Verizon advertised it like it would be the app superhorse to rival iPhone. About six weeks later commercials for the Droid saturated the market. And it was advertised like it would be the app superhorse to rival iPhone. Forgotten was the push to sell the env touch as the app phone. According to Droid commericals, there were already over 10,000 apps for it.

So Verizon, where are the apps for the env touch?

As others have stated, the env touch is NOT at all a rival to any app friendly smart phone. The env touch, in relation to applications use, is a JOKE. There are about 60 "apps" for sale through Verizon's stupid Get it Now service. These apps vary from being free (and crappy, useless, redundant) to being exorbitantly priced per month (any only SOMEWHAT useful for the daily life of the connected person).

To top all, after subscribing to these apps... it is NOT guaranteed that you will be able to "easily access" them via your front screen. After downloading the actual WeatherBug app, I had absolutely no way to add it to my "Shortcuts" tab, or to drag it to the front screen. By the way... the "apps" on the "Shortcuts" tab ARE SHORTCUTS to things like your voicemail, calendar, and alarm clock. SHORTCUTS are NOT APPS.

It's my opinion that Verizon should be sued for false advertising this phone. The "apps" you can put on your screen are shortcuts to expected features! They are not applications! And the very few applications you can download are useless AND CAN'T BE SHORTCUT TO.

Worse, they rushed this thing out falsely advertising it then released the Droid which does have more applications, and is more application friendly.

So basically they took a huge dump on their customers with this stupid phone (and shame on LG too, I used to like LG... my first paid-for phone was an LG, and I have always supported LG until they sank this crapfest on me, stole my free upgrade with fraudulent advertising courtesy of VZW, and landed me in a 2 year deal with a nasty company I would rather cancel my association with.

And the apps aren't the only thing that SUCK about this StupidPhone. The touch screen is difficult to work with (and um, the phone has no stylus). The camera is a joke, the sound quality is horrific, the signal is always weak, and I have to charge the battery like 10 times a day. And no I'm not buying a new one. I'm counting the days until I can scavenge up enough cash to switch to AT&T and the iPhone. Verizon and LG completely lost any respect I had for them due to my experience with this phone, its fraudulent advertising, and its horrific performance. I can't wait to be free of them.

And no, I don't work for any rivals. This phone is really that bad.

There is an app called social beat. It does facebook twitter myspace gmail google talk news and more... When your logged it it will send you a message when you get updates then you click view or go (i forget) and it takes you right to it.... I love this app!

Not much in the way of apps, but I will tell you that updating to v09 firmware is an absolute must. It's switches to a Polaris7 browser, which is pretty much a full fledged multitab browser, rather than the "internet app" that comes standard.

Want "apps"?

Break away from dumbphones.
