starbucks app only in Mexico! Why?

Starbucks | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Why couldn't they give use one too? Would it really be that hard?

Windows phone is growing really fast in Mexico... its becoming the new "blackberry" in there, so Im guessing Starbucks its must be a partnership between Windows Phone and Starbucks form Mexico

is like the rest of the world asking when we get US only features.

When i contacted Starbucks regarding a WP8 app, this was the reply i got:

"Thank you for your recent interest in downloading our mobile phone application. Unfortunately, there are no plans at this time to release a Windows Phone app. However, I do recommend that you keep checking back with us because it is a possibility in the near future."

So it sounds like they will release it worldwide in the near future ? In the US, the app could possibly support mobile payment and hence it's taking longer to develop ? (haha...i'm being optimistic here)


This has happened in the past...Dominos released their app in the UK market i believe and a few weeks later released it in the US.

So I wonder what the market share number is for WP in Mexico. I guess that number is the critical mass number major devs are waiting for here in the US. I wonder if it is higher than the Euro market share

That is the most backwards quote ever.
No plans means not a near term possibly.

First, you need to understand how multination company runs. Then you will understand why Starbucks Mexico's app has nothing to do with Starbucks US.
