I wanted to download 'start design' but the download is stuck on pending since two days. I tried installing other apps and they got downloaded fine. I tried restarting my phone and even a soft reset. Any help?

Do you use wifi or cellular data.
How big is the pending app.
If it is more than 100 Mb you need wifi because windows phone do not let you down load > 100 Mb "files" over cellular data.

If you push the tile can you cancel the "download"?

Same issue when downloading netflix. I tried multiple times, soft reset the phone, nothing works.. Other app installs work fine.

App is around 4mb. I'm on WiFi. I'm able to cancel the download. If I retry downloading, it still shows pending

I've also occasionally experienced this and would be interested if anyone has found something to get it unstuck.

Same issue for me too. My most recent case was while trying to download the new Disqus update via wifi. It got stuck in pending for an hour or so but then started to show downloading but never completed it. I later canceled the download and decided to switch to cellular after turning of wifi but for some reason now whenever I try to download disqus update it shows downloading on wifi network when I don't have wifi and I can never complete it....
All other apps are getting updated over cellular network fine though
