Feature Suggestions

Welcome to the Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box! Please vote for a feature suggestion or submit your own!

We’ve created this site as a tool to help Microsoft understand how customers use Windows Phone and we welcome your feedback.

Standard Disclaimer – our lawyers made us put this here ;-) Please note that the Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box is moderated and is a voluntary participation-based project, and if your submission is not a product feature suggestion it may be removed. Please do not send any novel or patentable ideas, copyrighted materials, samples or demos which you do not want to grant a license to Microsoft. See the “Terms of Use” link below for more information. Please limit your suggestions to 25 words or less.

CAST YOUR VOTES! – community feedback is active and growing … thanks! As a result, we are going to increase the number of votes you have available on your favorite suggestions from 10 to 20. Keep those suggestions and votes coming!

Please enter your feature suggestion...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Need to have an American Express App on Windows Phone

There needs to be an American Express App for the Windows Phone...pay balances, transfer funds, etc. It is crazy that you do not have deals with all major credit cards/banks. These are the apps consumers use on a daily basis and will not switch over if they are not available.

Adopt MetroTube as native YT app

As you may know, the great Youtube app MetroTube will be no longer available to download. Maybe Microsoft could get in touch with them.

More Apps are needed

RDP, Yelp, Citrix, VPN and expanding the live marketplace with useful apps. The lack of useful apps hurts compared to iphone.

Drop limitations in Xna.Framework.Media class

It's technical, and it's very much about the Windows Phone SDK. It's quite obvious that Music player in Windows Phone is kind of ****. It's limited, and not as intuitive as we'd like. But developers are not available to do something much better. The thing is Microsoft is limiting WP without a reason. MediaLibrary embedded in Windows Phone SDK is quite useless, you can't do anything with the music library, because the API doesn't provide physical access to music. And some fields in a tag aren't available in a Song Class object. So - the Music API is useless.

So - if I, as a developer, want to provide Tag editing functionality, or read lyrics, or do anything not supported, I'm cut off. That's why I ask Microsoft to unlock music functionality, simply by unlocking Uri to file itself in a Song object (I know it's there, the debuggers don't lie), or give I/O access to Music folder, so developers will be able to provide better music experience to Windows Phone.

Btw: why there is no "Developer" category here?
