I never seen apps like that on Android, WP apps are so lacking in functionality and features that i cant help but thinking about Symbian apps, WP apps is like going many years back in time.

We didnt have limited functionality apps like this in Nokia N900, they were complete and at the time (2010) better than most Android apps; N900 had very few apps but all were better than Androids app at the time. Nokia N9 had some simple apps like these at first but N9 was a completely new system, while WP is now an old system and should have progressed way beyond this level already.

I would not mind if WP had fewer but higher quality apps, like the N900 had in its glory days, but the reality is that apps are fewer and simpler, that is NOT a good thing. Never thought i say this, as a former Nokia fanboy and outspoken Anti-Apple, but i would pick Apple over Nokia, seriously.
