You're correct, any good employee is trained to lie about whatever piece of garbage they are selling. And i'm not referring to the icon. What i'm saying is all of us have worked somewhere where we weren't all that excited about the product we were selling\representing but you still have to put your BS face on and get it done. It isn't a microsoft problem, it's an everywhere problem.
I was thinking the same. Most, if all of those sites have mobile version. I just checked Discover since I am a member and they have a mobile version (https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/member-benefits/mobile/?ICMPGN=LAFTR_MOBILE). You could just "Pin to Start" and you're on your way.
You guys seem to be deviating from the actual reason I made the thread. The apps comment was just to give context. The Amex app, for example, pops up whenever Amex decides to flag a purchase as suspicious, and because of how often I travel, it happens quite a lot. From the pop up, I just click that the charge is legit and have whoever run it through again. On the Windows phone, I'll have to call and speak with a rep to get this taken care of. I'm not bashing Windows phone, as I've mentioned already. I find the UI refreshing, but to sit here and say it's all perfect is an insult to any sane person's intelligence.
