    Alex Romania, 21 Nov 2015I have bought a Lumia 640 and I regret the decision I had made. On Android I had more than 20... moreYou are wrong. I use Windows on phone every day, have all social apps I need, best email client, apps for music, file explorer, Office apps for productivity, few games, even the official companion for Fallout 4 - all of great quality. I don't miss one app.

      Hmm very very VERY clever move to find what the fucking apps Android users use want to bring them on WP the app won't just search for your apps and show you of there's similar ones on WP it sends all information to MS.
      Well fair enough anyway.😂

            I'm not in the mood to switch right now, but it appears Windows 10 would work for me. I use the phone (in approximate order) for texting, email, news, weather, navigation, music, photos, browsing, Uber, Facebook (keeping up with friends/family only), Audible, podcasts, calculator (yea, I know dumb), etc. If I used Snapchat, I suppose I would have an issue, but I don't. Besides, its just a smartphone, almost all of them on the market would work fine. We just have our preferences.

                i dont agree with the writer is a fact that companie needs to focus on what is good but if doesnt pay attention to what is wrong then companie will be recognized as a blind companie wich doesnt want to hear any one feedback.

                      This should be integrated in "Switch to Windows Phone" app.

                              "Windows Phone has many strengths, and apps isn't one of them. Microsoft would do well by focusing on the strengths than the weaknesses," I lol'd after reading that last part, app support is everything for any platform, if that isn't one of your strengths than what good are you?

                                    Well, I think that is not a Microsoft directly problem, because windows phone mobile is already an stablished OS. For example I use the most stable streaming music app for my wp, not the pop or bigger one, I'd like to use deezer (for easy way payment) but it's worse than Spotify with offline sync (in wp os at my opinion)

                                        This app does not really help their game on the mobile OS front.
