  • Makes no sense to leave WP8 out but I guess most devs are using droids and iphones so probabaly wont have much impact....
  • Most Windows devs are using windows 10 on at least one phone. Otherwise they can't really test apps.
  • That's assuming they are making Windows Phone apps.
  • It's Build, so most if not all of the mobile devs attending are there to learn about UWP and have probably already upgraded to Windows 10. Of course many of the attendees are probably doing backend dev and are there to learn about Azure, Sql Server Asp.Net Core, etc. I'm sure the percentage of WP8 users there is very low as well
  • It says on the store that it supports Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Phone 10 (should be Windows 10 Mobile but apparently even Microsoft makes mistakes while talking about its products) and Windows 10. Here I give you the link the online store: https://www.windowscentral.com/e?link=https2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.co... In case you don't understand portuguese, the information is in the "Sistemas operativos suportados" column which translates to Supported Operating Systems.
  • The updated app was "built for Windows 10", it's in the description in the store app itself but on the web page it seems it hasn't updated yet, it probably will in a few hours. When apps are published it takes time for the description to propagate to all servers
  • I read it right. something must be wrong with me
  • get insider .164 before you say you have 512MB RAM or x20 series phone.
  • I am so happy with Windows 10 mobile OS build/ app....

  • I like those little fellas. =)
  • My initial instinct was to say it's a simpler app but it's not really. Maybe it's because this app was built by a 3rd pary (Eventbase Technology, Inc.) and by their name it sounds like they're in the business of building apps and services for events
  • Please can someone check and see what features are there in the iOS and Android versions not found in the Windows version?

  • Lmao
  • Ok, I just downloaded the app, where is my puppy?!
  • Run around the block 5 times at 45 minute intervals. 60% chance you'll find your puppy. Sent from Narnia
  • Man that's lame...its like you have to know what the other side has that you may not have...even though you could be quite happy with what you have...that's being insecure and looking for ways to bash MS...
  • Yep^
  • Doesn't mean he hasn't got the right to complain. That's how dictatorships are run. North Korea would love you in office.
  • Doesn't mean i dont have the right to complain about people here...you're better suited for North Korea, your selective favouritism and bias will be welcome there.
  • ...I never said you didn't lol. But yea wow, great reply...
  • Is it possible to watch a live translation of the event via the app? Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • What about BB10?? My blackberry really needs this app badly.
  • BB10 can run Android apps, right? Don't they actually use the Play Store? It's probably just WP8 that will be left behind
  • Nope. I want a native BB10 app.
  • That's a joke right? BB doesn't even support BB anymore
  • Satya Nadella looks so weird with hair!
  • Doesn't do ****. No content of any sort. Posted from Windows Central for Windows 10
