Wrong forum

Wrong forum. I know the branding Microsoft uses for Windows Phone can get a little confusing, but this is a forum aimed at the PC version of Windows. There's a forum specifically for Windows Phone where your post might be a better fit.

Sadly we don't write for that platform. Why?

Microsoft's draconian rule over the app market is more stringent than Apples. Not only that but their market share is well, let's share the data at http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/14/6003427/windows-phone-sales-decline-q2-2014-idc

That's 2.5% of the global market. If you want to chase that small a market, go right ahead. The developers I know go after Android and Apple.
