    • Make one paid app free per week especially Xbox games

      Android has free apps and IOS offers free apps per week. Then why not Windows? I mean do you guys really don't understand why people buy android devices, cause the apps **** are free. What's wrong with you guys?

          • Password Protected Payments for Windows Phone 7 market place

            Mobile Payments are a default feature in windows phone 7, which is activated by default.

            when purchasing any app even if you don't set-up any payment method it will be charged by default in your telecom bill. It will be much more secure if before payment processing, all market place purchases are prompted for password authentication.

            • Allow users to change or delete primary windows accounts

              At present, there is no way to change or remove your primary Windows Live account without resetting the device altogether. This seems unnecessary as other OS such as iOS and Android allow users to change the emails used to purchase content. The lack of this feature means that I am unable to remove my account from my daughter's account, even though she now has her own!

              • Enough with the Facebook mobile site wrapper apps on the Store.

                Nothing screams "legitimate mobile OS" more than hundreds of Facebook 'apps' which load the mobile browser website and cover it in ads. Enough of these. Please.

                • Add check-box filters for apps in web Marketplace

                  What I want, is when browsing the Marketplace for apps, have available checkbox filters on the side. For example, if I click to see all New apps, they then display in the grid-like thumbnail view. Suppose I want to see only "news + weather", "business", and "personal finance" I check only those boxes. Perhaps I want to see all Free apps, but nothing from "books + reference" I click a "check all" box for all categories to be selected, and then de-select "books + reference."

                  You've all seen such a layout before, Check ebay.com on your computers for reference.

                  • the store is the most ******** thing i have ever seen; i have to have permission from my parents to download a 3+ game and that is stupid

                    make it possible to download anything you want without having to ask your parents to go to a website create a hotmail because they dont have one. it's really stupid not being able to download a 3+ game when you're 16 years old. you should change it so that you can download any game you want to, and the windows phone webage is bugging out in my browser everything exept explore is working so i can't configure my family. you should change it to the way android and ios has it because this is just silly... :(

                    • MERGE Windows Phone marketplace with the new Xbox marketplace.

                      What if every app available for Windows Phone could be used also on Xbox and, why not, through Kinect?
                      More developers would like to create apps for Windows Phone AND Xbox. You tried this with Fruit Ninja...

                      • Starting app prices should be low

                        A developer should able to put the App price as low as he/she wants. There should not be any restriction of minimum app price.
                        If app is of Rs.5 or 10. People will buy 10 apps of Rs.5 or 5 apps of Rs.10 but people might not spend Rs.55 for one app.

                        This is people psychology in my opinion.

                              • Display app details in a "hover window" in marketplace

                                When I display a list of apps in the marketplace, I'd love it if I could "hover" the mouse over an app and have the app details show up in a popup window - similar to how Netflix works (if you've ever used that service). This could save me lots of unnecessary clicks when searching through multiple apps looking for just the right one to try out.

                                • a new market

                                  it's just that in tunisia we can't buy any of the non free applications due to the restrictions in the buying process..a new market where we can use our local credit cards could be very interesting..because a windows phone without access to the applications and games is just not a windows phone anymore.
                                  we would like some attention for the 7.8 update because applications oon the windows phone 8 are waye better than the one we have.
                                  thank you for your comprehension
