Snapchat Feedback

[rhapdog]

I think you and a lot of WP users have a sense of entitlement when it comes to things like this. Simply put: no developer has to build apps for WP if they don't want to. No accessory maker has to support WP if they don't want to. What I don't understand is, if these companies won't support WP users, why would WP users want to support them at all? As for the perception that MS is "old" or "out of touch," did that somehow come out of nowhere? Who do you think is responsible for that perception? It wasn't something that was forced upon them by outside influences. It's a perception they cultivated on their own.

I have no sense of entitlement. Just stating my opinion about those running these companies, and pointing out that no amount of feedback to these companies or increase in market share will make these companies give a rip about the WP platform. I don't say that as a sense of entitlement, but to get people to shut the ___ up about snapchat, because it just doesn't do any good to complain in this instance. I'm sick of seeing all the posts about it. How in the world could you have assumed that I of all people have a sense of entitlement, just because I mentioned they were anti-Microsoft?

I am not wanting SnapChat on the Windows platform at all. I DESPISE such apps, and if you read my posts in other SnapChat threads, you'll figure that out pretty quickly.

These are the kind of companies I wouldn't support even if I were on iPhone or Android, because I don't like their business practices. It's part of why I quit all Google services years before I got a Windows Phone.

All the apps that I need are already on Windows Phone. For most things, I prefer to use a browser on my Laptop if it's about a site online. I don't need an app for that.

To be honest I don't fuss around about the apps/games we're missing.. I do feel sad when I see an app/game on another platform that's light-years ahead of our own or if we don't have it at all, but it's not a deal breaker for me. However if my support can, in any way, help to bring them to our store then I will gladly help

Itis a chicken and egg deal.... we all want better and more access to good apps, but we need to grow market share to attract those developers and companies and to get market share we need apps... so whether you like it or not, snapchat is a make or break app for tons of young people that may be interested in a cheap windows phone and would increase the market share. And if you like windows phone, that is a good thing

It's not clear what they're seeking funding for, but maybe there's some big changes/expansion planned. Or for 500 million, they're building the Windows app to end all Windows apps.
