Microsoft includes a milestone to celebrate : they've now reached over three hundred thousand applications upon the Windows Phone Store. Non-iOS and Android platforms tend to be criticized by their lack of applications, and Microsoft, truly understanding that this is the significant issue, has done its due diligence in drawing in developers to make apps because of its mobile platform.
If MS wishes to catch nearly Apple, however, it’ll need to labor much harder, like the Cupertino-based tech company can boast that It really has over 1. 2 million applications on its App Store.
A Microsoft Spokesperson had this to speak about concerning the company's surge in apps :
" We have an overabundance of than 300, 000 Windows Phone apps today and also the Windows Phone Store continues to grow…in previously year alone the Windows and Windows Phone app catalog has grown 94 percent, while the amount of active developers has grown by 50 percent. "
This really is to not feel that Microsoft’s growth isn’t impressive ; there have been over 100, 000 applications added inside a six month period in 2013 alone. Microsoft also hopes to exponentially increase its app numbers using the advent of its Universal Apps platform : applications that’ll focus on both desktop and mobile operating systems. Developers will only be required to worry about coding for example version, so, naturally, any Windows application could be applied over a wide selection of devices, should it be a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.
