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! :)

How can we improve the developer portal experience?

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".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Ricerca brani musicali - Search music

    Sarebbe bello implementare la ricerca con la tastiera dei brani salvati sulla raccolta del telefono (come per le applicazioni)

    It would be nice to implement the search with the keyboard of the songs saved on your phone (like applications)

          • Give devs access to a ranked list of unmatched user search keywords from marketplace ->product ideas

            The keywords people use in unsuccessful marketplace searches (particularly in the desktop Zune application) would, if ranked by frequency, provide useful information to developers on where to focus their development efforts. This would create more opportunities for developers while also helping to provide customers with the apps they want.

                                I would like to install applications using .XAP files which are not on the market place.
                                For example install an app which is not avaible anymore, or to permit me to share my app which was refused for certification.

                                • Allow team app submission

                                  Allow multiple users to submit an app as a team. Microsoft's "Big App on Campus" event is a good example where this feature is necessary. Multiple students work on a single app together, but only one is able to submit it, so that one member must provide the other team members with all of the updates about payments and current downloads, etc. The team submission should allow the users to distribute the money as agreed upon or a default value of even distribution. Each member should have access to the information about the application, even the certification process. I understand…

                                    • Allow to write app reviews using a different nickname than my gamer tag

                                      I don't like the fact that I have to use my Xbox gamertag to write app reviews. In fact, it is the reason I do not write app reviews. First, I've had devs messaging me via Zune about my reviews, and also have had messages from spammers which included links to dodgy wegsites. I like the way iOS implements this, when you write a review for the first time, it asks you to create a nickname, which is used only intheir App Store for review purposes. They do not use someone's Apple ID. Over time, as Windows Phone becomes more…

                                        • Download details in AppHub to include OS version & Hardware info

                                          Download details / chart provides only basic info by country and data range. It would be very handy to have additional info like
                                          1) OS version
                                          2) Hardware

                                          OS version would tell us whether there are active downloads for WP 7.0 so we can release updates for pre-Mango versions of Apps.

                                          While this can be down to an extent with analytics, we should already have this info within Marketplace / app hub reporting.
