Only for iOS? Surprised they didn't make a version for windows phone... or is this software already built into the camera functionality on WP?

- ocdtrekkie 10y agoMicrosoft's not heavily devoting resources to Windows Phone at the moment. They're phasing out Lumias, and focusing on getting the enterprise experience right on their mobile devices with the HP Elite x3. Windows Phone isn't really dead, but until Microsoft is ready, they're focusing on winning over iOS and Android users with their apps.
- brudgers 10y agoRumor is that 'Lumia' will be replaced with 'Surface' for branding.
- aluhut 10y agoSo why not stop it altogether? I'm forced to use one of those Windows Phones. The App Store is terrible. Few apps for the simplest things and god are they terrible...
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoI honestly can't fathom being forced over to another platform right now. Years of having to support them later, I still don't understand how anyone makes sense of the UI of iOS (it seems intuitive to non-tech people?) and the terrible colossal trainwreck that is where Google has brought Android in the last few years rules out... almost every other phone out there. (I carried an Android for seven years, I've finally had enough, I can't stand that trash anymore.) We need a third option. If it's not Microsoft, it's gotta come from somewhere else.
- WorldMaker 10y agoMy impression is that this is very similar to the official camera app on Windows, if not a direct port. I would not be surprised if at least some code was shared. Maybe?
- brudgers 10y agoWindows 10 Mobile has replaced Windows Phone. Much of the practical functionality appears to be incorporated into the Camera app on Windows 10 Mobile.
