I missed out on instagram, and now missing out on Snapchat?

[devize]

Snapchat is only on iPhone right now though. Not even android yet

It is on Android. It is a very bad app but it is there.

Fhotoroom is an windows phone and windows 7 &8 app only. I find it to be better than instagram in everything but... Wait for it.... Users. None of my family or friends can use it because most of them are on IOS, and a couple on android

do you use fhotoroom? I was trying to get into it, but just didn't understand who/why to follow someone. I use twitter mainly for hockey stuff, and never tried instagram. I see a use in twitter, but not instagram/fhotoroom. Have no idea of the social benefit

I am going to keep this brief. All you guys have to know is that I have a sentimental attachment towards Nokia. I have grown up with their devices and would not want to lose them, that too from Apple and Samsung. We all know, realise and accept the fact that WP8 has a very impressive UI and a great OS. We also know that it lacks on apps and functionality when it comes to business use (As I have heard other users complaining, I am OK with it). MS has been in this business for so many years, the least we would expect off them is to provide great business functionality without any bugs when they launch a product through Billion $ marketing, to evoke a widespread adoption of companies to use WP8 devices with their employees.

Anyways, hopefully that will be taken care off with time and that too before Apple comes out with a killer device next year! I am here for one thing. Today morning I woke up, and saw another Instagram post (CMON!). Isnt it enough? We, as WP users do not really need it. But we know our friends/family do not want to switch over because WP might not have apps suited to them, which is making them to not switch even if they enjoy the UI and like what MS has done with WP8. But we want them to, we want to somehow convince them to switch over, because the more users jump into this, the more confidence we can provide the developers! Simple as that - it’s a cylce. Has to start somewhere. Developers are not going to develop a product if they cannot monetize their product from Day1!

For this same reason, please let me introduce a Google Doc Spreadsheet (I know, I should not be using Google but then it has a good cloud functionality so that all the users around the world can use this and I do not have access to Office 365, sorry!) - http://goo.gl/6Xz2a

This is simply a petition to raise our voice. The fields are:

1. Name (you can keep it blank if you would like to keep your privacy)
2. Twitter handle - would be good to know and connect with like minded people)
3. WP Central ID - we should have atleast one name to tag you with (either of these 3 or all!)
4. Petition for APP development - this is where you write which app you would like to raise your voice for. Write as many as you want, but remember each APP you vote for - please make a separate entry. Do not write names of 4 apps in one go. INDIVIDUAL ENTRY FOR EVERY APP PLEASE!
5. Country you are from
6. City you are from

EXAMPLE:

1. Name: Kavin U. (my name)
2. Twitter handle - kavinl
3. WP Central ID - nbktonic
4. Petition for app dev - Insatgram
5. Country - UAE
6. City - Dubai.
7. Hit Submit

Now if I want to raise my voice for “Mint.com”, I will refollow the above procedure to create a new entry within the spreadsheet file.

I hope this is simple enough. Every thing you share is being saved in a spread sheet file and I think it would be a good idea to give this about 3 months to circulate around the world (gather your friends and family!) - the more involvement we have, the better! Today is 23rd December 2012 (Thank god the world did not end! Screw you Mayan, I wanna play some more with my Yellow Nokia Lumia 920 ), and I think it would be good to close this on 15th April, 2013.

Guys, if you think this has to be revised in any ways, please let me know latest within a day - since I am leaving for holidays.

At the end, I will filter down responses with drop down menus and submit the voice to individual development teams so that they can understand the market and hopefully decide to work on developing favorite apps for all of us!

You have to give it time for these types of apps. People aren't quick to jump on making an app for WP.

When I asked when a certain website was going to make an app for WP (a few months ago), a prick that was supposedly customer service replied with something along the lines of "Never, because Windows Phone sucks or is *****"
Very professional. :eck:

Can we have the website please? It's time to harass them for an app from as many users here as possible. Make them see that WP demand IS there.

I'm going to help you. These Idiots that are iOS fanbois (the guys that say wp is ****), deserve to be harassed.

 

[markdotinc]

I actually prefer having a different phone than people who use Instagram.

I totally forgot the website, but it did happen. I do recall receiving that email. Those assh****.

did you tell them that they need a break from all of that kool-aid they're drinking? And that they need to keep a tight watch on a certain stock (aapl), because of all the market share they're losing AND the fact that instead of skyrocketing to 900 like projected, it in fact dropped substantially? Please. Let me have a whack at these guys.

This is wrong, I have snapchat installed on my Android phone.

Damn well i guess my friend doesn't know how to search in the google play store cause he was complaining that snapchat wasn't on android.

Sign away!

 

[pepsijosh]

they do. just make sure the iPod touch you get has a camera on it. I have a 3rd Gen iPod touch (no camera), I can download Instagram, but obviously not post pictures. but it does not let me download Snapchat since I dont have a camera

I have a 3rd gen iPod Touch, all you have to do is download the app via iTunes and port it onto the device using the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6.1 for Windows

It works perfectly, I have Facebook Camera, WhatsApp & I just tested SnapChat...No jailbreak required and this is all offical stuff here =)

He probably has a low end Android, I have a feeling that low end Android users miss out on much more than we do.

I recently discovered EyeEm, which I like better than both Fhotoroom and Instagram.

is it a full service on its own? like flickr and instagram- upload directing to site or is it some kind of portal where you have to upload to facebook/twitter?

it is its own service, pretty sweet if you want something similar

EyeEm: the best Instagram alternative you’ve never heard of - SlashGear

Just want to make you notice that this app I found tonight is really similar to snapchat (or Poke): Tiger Text | Store di app e giochi per Windows Phone (Italia)

MS needs a roving app hit-squad... Have a team on the look out for up and coming apps on other platforms, set a benchmark (e.g. more than 10 000 daily users) and if that app hits the benchmark, offer the developers cash to develop the app for Windows Phone and RT. Even if you have to go out and develop the app yourself, do it but ensure you get the branding (e.g. like they did for FB). In fact, that might be a quicker and more efficient method (especially if you're looking at integration). And for God's sake, make sure you've got online banking, public transport, taxi and major shopping centre/mall apps covered. Yes, it's serious cash burning, but who cares if the pay-off sits in greater WP adoption, and thus WP license sales, increased Bing usage, etc.

Do it Microsoft, do it... do it right.

snapchat is for sexting, stop being a creepo and just send mms or whatsapp messages like the rest of us

No its not.

sure, I'm going to send you a photo but i need to limit the time available to you and block you from saving it

As a person who uses it I can tell you that's not what its for. I will say it will probably be useless in a couple months like Voxer.
