re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I can't stop thinking about transformers 4 what might be in transformers 5. This is worse than my interest in/obsession over what that guy said in the YouTube video about something big coming to WP! Now I know what the character Bryan Cranston played as in Godzilla might have felt like...
>.< well its something to look forward too... I guess :p

It's almost like I'm in physical pain when I open the Xbox music app.
*sigh* way to much complaining about the xbox music app. sure its justified but its getting to the point where I think people are complaining just because its msft :/

No they're complaining because it's horrible. Has been since day one.

._. Trial periods are ok but like you said they should be based off your usage

No that makes little sense. A trial time is there for trial usage. If you don't use it during that period of time that's your problem. It would take more programming to sort out.

Personally I prefer the free app with ads and some capability missing rather than time limited.

I wonder what they are using it for. I use it for the same thing and that is to listen to music. I know im the minority but I do wonder what is it that they ask for. I use both iPod and my phone for music and they work the same. in fact when I use Bluetooth on my ipod cuts in and out yet on my phone I don't get any of that.
so yes I do wonder what is it that they need. I check on the forums and I get non of the issues they complain about

I think it makes sense. I would like to see how it work depending on my usage so I can see if it works well with my daily flow of things. If I set a trial based on time that means I would have to use it to the maximum on that certain time frame

Yes I see you understand....

You're missing the point. Look from this perspective. You develop an app, you programme it as you say. So 30 days usage. Now what if that person takes a year to use those 30 days? What does that tell me about their use of the app other than they didn't really use it. If you can't sort out in 30 days whether you like something or not why are you bothering to download it in the first place? Why not wait until you have the time to assess it properly? I know some apps have a short time frame but even then, same thing.

That's why I prefer my thinking. Then at least when I use the app the dev still gets ad revenue.

This is the common take with everything on WP. It's I don't have X problem so I don't see the issue. You've been lucky. Be happy many others including me and my wife haven't. Not just with the music app but with WP in general.

im not saying that there isn't a problem of course there are things to be fixed but what are they doing to get these problems.

ah when you put it that way it makes better sense . thought I would put it more to 5 days just because that is a work/school week ;) 30 days is overkill

Probably nothing. For whatever reason the app acts funny. My wife had the duplicate song issue. I didn't do anything different with her phone (820) than I did with mine. Why did it happen? Don't know.

My wife is pretty smart but not tech savvy. She just wants things to work. If I didn't fix her WP she would get something else. That is the issue with WP and tech in general.

Most trials for apps is 15 days on mobile. For computer it's normally 30 days.

I thought of another model. How about 15 hours of usage? That should give most people a good feel for the app.

it reminded me of the saying "what might work for you might not work l for me "
so far wp has worked for me ( minus being left behind by tmobile)

That is not a correct statement in this circumstance. We're talking about a product which should work the same for everyone who buys it.

Look at it this way. I buy a baseball bat and I have it for months and it's great. You buy the same one and it breaks with first use. Does that seem fair when both of us have used it the same way? Wouldn't you want a refund?

I've heard the story is still as dull as ever, the characters still as pale as ever, the endless robot battles still as exhausting as ever, the movie drags along still as long as ever, meaning it's about an hour too long, the dinosaur robots are just gimmick, but Michael Bay cut down a little from his tremendously stupid puberty humor. So that's one plus I guess.

Okay, just that I understand that correctly, Microsoft updates the slow but working calendar app which now crashes when creating a new entry for many people including me.

That probably ends the argument that Microsoft is so slow with updating because they test everything well.

Let's try a restart.

Well that didn't help. Great!
