For me I don't want Google to handle my data. For this reason alone I left using Google's service and can be the reason alone to keep me away from Android, apart from other issues as well.
It's not just apps that is the problem,but biases and outright ignorance of WP in general too.
Tell me,what Google services are you missing on WP these days. Everyday I see folks saying this and I have to wonder if they have bothered looking in the WP store for them. Sure I know there are certain regional apps that might be missing you need,but what Google services are you talking about. The hub is there,as too the cloud and also their Email,Maps,and search so exactly what is missing?

Sell the 5S and get the Moto G. Better to go for a sure thing and have the cash instead of getting stuck on a phone you may not like down the road. I stopped toying with the idea of WP because I realize now I use too much of Google and certain function that would be missing in WP. Though I may look at it again next year, for now though I need the best functionality right now for my services and Android is just that. Some may not agree with this, but I rather be safe than sorry.

Didnt search for the others but i have the tile game on my phone.Google Keep, Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Music, and Google Chrome and bookmark sync. I have looked into the WP store, majority of the apps I use are not there.

None of these are there. But I digress, not everyone's smartphone needs are like mines so this is just what I am missing and what I currently have on my phone.

I was considering them in the future, but being the Google services users and weighing my pros and cons I stayed on Android. I DO NOT say "hey everyone Android is better leave WP". I want to stop misconceptions of Android. Peoples perceptions of other OS's is skewed heavily and common misconceptions (especially when someone has't even looked at Android in the past year) are not helpful. I would hope that on a forums people are honest and not just exaggerating and saying bald faced mistruths but unfortunately it happens here and even more often on CrackBerry than anywhere else I have seen in Mobile Nations. If my defending on misconceptions on Android are wrong then by all means point it out, but just calling me troll does not add to the discussion. It derails the thread, so therefore I will not be responding to you anymore and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Works really good. My cousin showed me the game on her iphone 5c, alityle layer she was complaining about the game lagging lolIts a copy. The real publisher Hu Wen Zeng does not have the game on WP yet.

Perhaps it is because most everything you state isn't there,is and your entire reason for continually talking down WP in favor of Android is obvious.All I did was state what isn't there. How is that BS?

Google and Microsoft don't mix, period. The reason for that is because one of their higher-ups are anti-Microsoft. However, Microsoft still makes their own software, and has done so before Google got into the game. So welcome to the Microsoft circle of apps, there's something for everybody, but don't expect Google apps here, at least not yet. Sorry.
Gmail,Gmaps,Google,Google Drive and Google Hubs all work nicely on my 1520 how much more a person needs idk..............it's not that I need them,but put them on it just to see if they do.

You have 2 generations of smartphone users, two 17 yr olds & a 42 yr old that have the same mind set. Which is They don't care if the product or software is better. They don't like it & refuse to even try it because it's different than what they currently know. It is too much of a hassle or bother to learn something new even if it is faster or better. Think about that & how you combat that frame of mind as I suspect most average consumers(because these 3 are your typical everyday consumer) think the same. Go with what is comfortable, safe & everyone else has even it is slower or doesn't have all the best features.
How do you compete against that thinking except with a constant & I mean constant, unified & focused ad campaign that is everywhere for a year maybe 2?
