What is the current perceived gap in the Windows Phone app store?
- rayiner 13y agoQuality is very low. Apps are there, but features are usually lacking and incomplete, and curation is awful. NB: I have a Lumia.
- bsilvereagle 13y agoMicrosoft aggressively targeted college students offering $100 for every app published. It's really easy to crank out an RSS app and pocket $100.
- untog 13y agoWhen I tried one (and admittedly, this was the WP7 era) the biggest problem wasn't missing brands, it was awful experiences. Spotify were on there - the app didn't play music 50% of the time. Foursquare was on there, but it barely worked. And so on. I haven't checked back since because, well, why would I?
- gtirloni 13y agoBecause things have improved? I own a Nokia Lumia 925 and have barely anything to complain about. The thing is I've never been crazy for searching through a ton of crap apps every day like some of my friends. WP8 delivers what I need in a consistent way. I'm glad I moved away from the Android phones I owned in the past 2-3 years.
- untog 13y agoWell I guess my point was that I have no reason to move away from Android now. A few years ago the experience was terrible and I saw WP as a clean escape from that. Since then Android has come along leaps and bounds.
