        • retry & remember form data on submit fail

          My reviews for apps via WP7 fail > 50% of the time. The WP7 should auto re-try & remember form data for re-try later. So frustrating to lose very in-depth reviews that would help the devs, to see them blank, without even a star rating. No wonder most games have no ratings and reviews. Who wants to see their time wasted?

          • Live Weather Tile like Android Widget

            Same as android, should be the size of two tiles put together like the calendar. Show the current weather situation in picture and temperature.

            • I am an Android user and using an app "한방 영어 검색 / ILHWAN CHO" every day. When Windows Phone Store includes this app I will buy a WP8.

              Android Market has "offline Dictionaries / NGHS. fr." It is very useful. When Windows Phone Store adds this app, I will move to Windows Phone 8 definitely.

              • review app details needs to save faster

                Right now when I save a review, i can't revisit the review straight away. When I do it's like the review disappeared. So I go away for a few days, and then try reviewing again. And the old review I did is there! And when I try editing this review, and go back to it straight away, the edited review isn't there, it's the old unedited version!

                Looks like it takes a while for the review to be saved to the system. The thing is, these fleeting review ideas and tips and suggestions are fickle, and it's unacceptable that I…

                • wp8 app security settings for skydrive

                  wp8 apps can be granted full access to my skydrive account. This is a bad idea..

                  for users (contacts), on the other hand, I can grant them read or modify rights to specific files and folders on skydrive...

                  what I would like to see is an ability to grant a custom app modify access to their own directory on skydrive WITHOUT granting the application full access to all my skydrive..

                  This way, the wp8 app has full cloud backup and sync options BUT I have peace of mind for security..

                  • Availabiity

                    Make Windows Phone more inclusive by making apps available around the world. I live in South America and I got a Nokia Lumia 710 and even though it is an amazing phone, there are apps I can not download because they are not available where I live, such as Nokia Music.

                          I would like to see a real VOIP solution like Majicjack come to Windows phone. I can't port my landline to Skype, so a real VOIP app would be perfect.

                            • More / Better Apps

                              One of the biggest problems of the Windows Phone 8 is lack of good applications. I just came over from iOS and I found, that a lot of apps I really liked on iOS don't exist on Windows Phone.
                              So, what I want, is that You would talk to the developers to bring their apps to Windows Phone. Also, a proper Youtube app would be a good thing.
                              Here's a list of apps I'd like on Windows Phone: Angry Birds, Viber, YouTube, Instagram, Tap Tap, Google Chrome.

                              • improve the presentation of data for contacts with multiple phone numbers

                                when we mix several contact we can see several telephon numbers, but i think it would be interesting if we can edit de label "call to mobile". When we have 3, 4, or more telephone number for one contact can be difficult to know the origin of each phone number.

                                  • Many of my people love the Windows phone but it is somewhat discouraging because it does not cater for us. We are Seventh-day Adventists. We

                                    We need to be able to read Ellen G White writings. We need an app for that. We need the Sabbath School Quarterly app. Can you assist?

                                      • nokia lumia needs instagram

                                        For a phone to do so many other thongs I find it odd that it doesn't have instagram as an app on here.

                                        • Provide New App/Tile for Shortcut to Sim Applications

                                          Provide an application to easily access the Sim Network Menu like in any other phones.
                                          The Sim Menu is available in most networks, this is where you check your prepaid credit balance and other network concerns.
                                          As for now, I could only access the Sim Menu in Settings>Sim Applications>Then show.
                                          I want and others want to access the Sim Menu more conveniently as in other phones and we're hoping for its arrival to windows phone!
