dude, i am so tired of hearing that crap. there are plenty of apps, and windows phone can do so much more than IOS and Android.
I'm sorry but, I have to reply to this one and Windows Phone still cant win on this.
It's still an issue with Windows Phone BUT, it is getting a lot better. The Problem is most devs make their apps for iOS and Android before they even think about Windows Phone. Take for example, games, Cut the Rope (yea, we got one or 2 but, not the new ones), Candy Crush, any MANY other big titles that are on iOS/Android. We still dont have Apps from big companies like Dish Network, Directv, a hand full of banks (depending on what banks you use) and the biggest one for people is the local apps. These are from your local TV and radio stations, local but biger busineses and again banks.
Then you have the quaitly of the applications. A lot of applications in the marketplace were just put there to have a app, never updated. In most cases, the iOS and Android versions are updated faster and with more features before they even look at Windows Phone.
My wife wanted a new iPhone (going back about 3-4 months ago), I forced her to try a Lumia 928 and told her she HAS to live with this for 10 days (14 day return). She DID find apps for about 60% of the stuff she wanted (she likes the local TV/Radio apps for local news and weather, all were unavalble) the other apps, about 15 of them, she showed me one by one the iPhone version and the Windows Phone version. The Windows Phone versions had less than 1/2 the features and most cases they were done by a 3rd party and 1/2 done. The iPhone version blew them away for features and general usage.
So, Windows Phone, no quetion is getting there but, When users say there is a problem with apps, No question this issue is NOT resolved yet.
The biggest problem is that we on the most part, have about 3.5-4% market share (at least in the US), the devs wont come unless we sell the phones and in a lot of cases, they wont buy a phone because of the apps, a catch 22 type thing....
So, it all depends on the user and what apps they need, If they are a social nut for the most cause, the FB and twitter apps are good but, when you get into other areas, you need to really look over them...
Sad to say, this is one issue I would like fixed, then I would not have an issue with Windows Phone, as 8.1 seem like it's going to fix all the other issues I have with it...and I love my Windows Phone device, no question...
