The market share of Windows Phone is a rounding error on the shares of iOS and Android. It's not a noticeable chunk, it's a statistically insignificant chunk.

Square-Enix can't even get this app out on Android in a timely manner, which controls >75% share of the world's smartphone market. To think they will ever get around to Windows Phone, or Blackberry, or Symbian, or anything else is a bad joke.

I completely agree I am on the search for a new phone atm (my first smart phone ever!) and I initially made the decision to go with the lumia 820 (I have a old nokia 1600 LOL! and I was quite happy with it) But this morning something started nagging at me and I realized I dint do any research on the apps available and I completely forgot libra isn't even made for android yet and no single announcement for WP8 either so now I am having a serious doubt if I actually should get the lumia or go with the masses and get an android phone instead. I am not a person that buys phones every year or every 2 years so this really made a dent in my original plans >_>

NECROTHREAD! RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

Out of curiosity, I ran a search for game related apps on windows phone, and actually found a 5 star app for Star Citizen. You're telling me that us windows phone users can get worthwhile apps for a game that only recently went alpha, but we can't get an incredibly useful app for a game that has been on the market for some time? At this point, I'd be satisfied with SE giving a statement about why they won't port Libra Eorzea to WP, despite the clear demand for it, but no, they have to leave us in the dark and SOoL.

They gave us a statement and doing any bit of research would tell you it's just not that supported of a platform compared to Apple and Android.

I just submitted an unofficial FFXIV app to the WP8.1 store, I hope it'll get through soon. initial release only has items & recipes, i'm planning to add jobs, dungeons, quests, etc. in future releases

I got a windows phone.
Aside from browsing and calls, it's basically worthless. And typing is horrible, and I freeze often.
This thing has almost zero worthwhile applications. Still. What point is all that apparent power if there's so little that takes advantage of it?

Soon as my contract ends I am ditching this piece of crap.

In Q1 2014 Windows phone made up 2.7% of the smartphone market, that's actually down from 3.2% in the same period last year but sine 2011 its still going up. but still a very small market.

agreed, but when you look at local markets, especially in Europe, you'll see that there are quite a few countries where WP is very close or even surpassed iOS marketshare. here in Belgium WP makes up 15% of the smarphone market

What model...? I don't experience any of those and couldn't be happier with my Windows Phone. Will never go back to Android/iOS.

You don't experience a lack of official worthwhile applications?
I've been using a Nokia Lumina 810. Any exclusive stuff it has has been totally not worth it. Editing any text input is a nightmare thanks to awkward zooming/scrolling and a really irritating issue where as soon as I can get the cursor behind a word to add something else, it deletes it. My old android which had an option to basically make a separate window for easy writing and some sort of swipe input option which made basic typing that much less of a burden. I can't watch any livestreaming because of their selective flash policy.
Oh, and I can't customize it beyond how big and colorful I want the tiles to be.

I've given this thing 2 years to impress me and and all it's done is make me miss my cheaper Android.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but i downloaded this app a long time ago when it came out, and i used it essentially... once.

It's nothing but (the most basic parts of) public information available on any wiki, but just harder to browse through and less informative/updated.

I dont feel you should get too upset about not being able to use it.

Snip.

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm not app-heavy. Every app I want, I have for the most part. If I remember the 810 isn't a high-end Lumia phone. But it's also not on the low end. I use a 1520 and suffer none of your symptoms. Nor did I with my 920. I'm not trying to justify WP8 for you, but it's not for everyone.

I know roughly 8-10 people with this phone (different models) and we are all very satisfied with it. Most of us find ourselves showing others the features it has to offer and that person shows up with one shortly after.

Hehe, having trouble downloading the app from the website. I wonder if it's because I installed 8.1 through Developer's Preview. Won't auto-push to my phone. And the Store app hasn't updated with it yet.

yeah I'm having the same, give it time, the store needs to update across regions before new apps can download I think

That's what I figured. However I did try another App that I downloaded in the past and have since deleted and it wouldn't push either. I'll wait it out and see.

Mine has swipe and I prefer it to every other variation I used on other platforms.

Try not to start a platform fanboy wars anyway, is so easy with these damn phones.

Installing now to support your efforts!

EDIT: Not in the store yet :-(

UPDATE: I found it by taking a link from my desktop and then input that link into my phone. Says that it is not available for my device due to either updates or region/country. Maybe I will have to wait for a bit.

Therein lies the problem - Every app you want you can find, that's cool - However plenty of apps most want never touches windows phones - that is the problem because it's not as supported as android/Ios.

I'm not trying to justify WP8 for you, but it's not for everyone.

Basically: If you don't care about lack of support, Windows Phones are fine.
If you do care: Stray far, far, far away from them.

How is sorting done on this Spikie? The app appears to work great, but when going into Items > Armor > Body for instance. The sorting appears to be all over. Doesn't look to be sorted alphabetically, iLvl or anything.

Cyan is the newest one. Just started rolling out. It's usually coming with 8.1 as that gets released to carriers. I could get it with my 1520 yesterday from AT&T. However I would have to rollback to 8.0 then update to 8.1 again (i'm running Developer's Preview).

Don't roll back yet...It says that Cyan is still in testing with most of the carriers.

I'm running a Nokia Lumia 920 with windows phone 8 on it and I can't find this app on the appstore on the phone. I do a search for "Library of Eorzea" and it comes up with nothing. Also I don't have an SD card slot on my phone so I can't side load the app. Is it still updating the store? I noticed that the latest update to the app is today so i'm hoping I just need to wait a little longer for it to show up.

If you're not running developer's preview or the Cyan update, you will not be able to get the app yet. Here is a link you can check to see if your device is ready for the Cyan update. (None are ready yet, but check the website every couple days).

Ah ok that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

I won't roll back. I'll just wait until they patch it. Also I only searched up "Eorzea" on my phone and I find it. I don't find if it I search Library.

sorry couldn't reply anymore yesterday, forum said I reached my posting limit :s

the app is Windows Phone 8.1 only, 8.0 not supported. The reason for this is that the code for an 8.1 app is very compatible with Windows 8.1 (universal apps) so I basically just need to build a tablet UI and launch the app on big Windows as well (working on it)

as far as sorting goes, currently it's the order that the items are in my database, loosely based on the order of the Lodestone. I'll add sorting and filtering in the next version

Version 1.1.0 released. Changelog:
- Fixed a secondary tile bug
- Added Settings page
- Added default sorting for lists
- Added sorting on list pages
