What Microsoft Band Apps are already available for Windows Phone?

A few weeks ago Microsoft released the first significant update to their popular Microsoft Band that included a Software Development Kit, or SDK, to allow Windows Phone developers to build applications to interact with the Band and its sensors.

Now that does not mean some enterprising developers were not already poking around and learning what they could do with the Band but I am sure the Band SDK has made that process easier.

Now I have tried a few of these Band apps and each have unique capabilities and it is likely one of these will fill a need for you as well. 

Have fun trying them out and, if you are so inclined, support the developers with reviews and even purchasing those apps which are not free.
