WP8.1 : Features you want the most

[BIGPADDY]

Is there any effort being made to categorize and rate the number of responses? Maybe possibly take the top 10 suggestions and make a poll for people to vote for?

Someone would have to create a new thread for that and select the poll option.

One feature that I really want is for the 'store app' to work. Sometimes goes weeks and weeks without having notifications, I usually have to search app by app and update them myself one by one. This is really annoying. I know when the majority of apps is updated, but a lot of people who aren't constantly searching for them on websites like WPC don't. e.g. my mother It doesn't mater how hard we try to captivate people from other OS when simple functions, like this one, don't work. To my mother it doesn't mean a thing, she only uses the phone main fuctions and some apps like Whatsapp, weather and news, but if Microsoft really want to get new users, especially the demanding ones, have to have things working properly.

Improved Office. It didn't improve at all since the OS was first released, and that sucks a lot.

I've noticed all weather apps fail to keep the live tile updated, and I think it's the OS's fault and not the apps'. Hope they fix that.

I hope when apps push out updates, they'll notify us through the action center.

Or implement something like Pandora or Rapdialer

Yeah it's the OS' fault, live tiles can either only update text properly or once every 30 minutes with an image

I don't have a problem with weather apps updating every 30min. It's when they don't update for hours that I have a problem with.

Heard its only available for offline apps. Maybe clocks and countdown timers and such.

A live lock screen. Similar to Android's live wallpaper, but for the Windows Phone lock screen.

I'd love the ability to see an animated GIF in text messages and not have to use a third party app, like Gif Viewer to see the animation.

The keyboard taking less space would be nice.

UC Browser has it but yeah, I would like it on IE.

I want more available memory for 512mb ram devices. 512 MB ram is definitely not outdated for cell phones and can still run any cell phone game. Its just Microsoft's restrictions (only 140 mb is available from the 512 for apps) that restricts the developers from porting games to 512 mb devices. I know I know that may cause lag but I am okay. Just my two cents.

windows 8.1 or future updates really need to add a notification centre.
