Dev Center + Store
Welcome to the Windows Phone Developer Feedback site!
This forum focuses on the Dev Center (which includes the developer portal, back-end services, analytics and process) and Windows Phone Store. Additional WPDev forums are available using the links along the right of the page.
Suggestions provided via the WPDev UserVoice forum will be reviewed and read by the Windows Phone application platform team, providing feedback to help with planning ideas and to better understand how developers are using the WP development platform, and all suggestions will be considered.
Two important notes about this site: (a) List items (and item rankings) represent community interest in features, and does not represent an actual priority list for the product team; and (b) Suggestions made using this forum will be moderated if they do not actually represent a feature request.
NOTE: This is not a support site; for Dev Center or Store issues, open a support ticket! :)

Remove Search Restrictions
Remove the 50 apps limit from the phone and 100 app limit from the marketplace web site when users search for an app with a search term. If an app can not be found with its ideal keyword (becuase over a hundred apps already have used that search term) then new apps cannot be found with their ideal search terms. The concept of paging using skip and take very easily resolves this issue. It's quite dissapointing that a Bible app cannot be found with the search term bible.

WiFi Calling/Messaging.
WiFi calling allows people to call/send messages over WiFi rather than cellular signal. Knowing that you don't get signal everywhere that should help.

Enable variable pricing for apps (decouple from app release)
I would like to be able to promote my app for a certain time by reducing its price (e.g. during holiday season). I don't want to create a new app release for that reason. So please decouple app releases from the commercial stuff...

Confirm all AppHub clicks that can not be immediatly undone such as End Beta or Edit Submission
When using AppHub is would be great to have a confirmation screen or even a message box to indicate an action is about to take place which can not be undone.
Eg I have submitted a Beta App and it is published and then want to add an additional beta tester. The end beta button is right next to the edit beta testers button and it easily missed or clicked accidentally. If end beta is clicked it would be great to confirm that beta is about to end and be removed from marketplace.
Also if free app is submitted to…

Show the Total Amount Owed to Developers and Expected Payout Date
It's currently an inconvenience totalling individual download totals to discover how much money MS owes to developers, it would be nice to have this information automatically calculated perhaps with a date and total of upcoming payouts.

Release official numbers on Windows Phone devices sold & apps on marketplace
I want to develop for Windows Phone, but I need to convince my business development people that it is a wise investment.
Without at least these two numbers, I cannot convince my BD people.
Apple publicly discloses official numbers for:
* How many apps in the store
* How many iOS devices soldEven though Apple creates the hardware and therefore has direct access to these numbers, it is an *essential* piece of information as companies determine future product development plans.
Though Microsoft may need to do more legwork to determine how many Windows Phone devices have been sold, it…

show crash report details in app hub instead of in excel
The excel file is cumbersome to use due to formatting and scrolling issues with large cells. It would be nice if the app hub could, in addition to letting you export to excel, just show the crash reports on the app hub using formatted html, and have the stack trace formatted to be readable (not all in one line).
