Windows Mobile App Development

Windows Smartphones had a nice initial launch producing their own smartphone product and also providing their operating system to Nokia. Due to a wide variety factors Windows Smartphone operating system didn’t keep pace with Android and iOS. Several years later as the dust settles the stats show Windows Smartphones in decline. Gartner reseach shows that in the first quarter of 2016 Windows Smartphone mobile OS market share was less than 1% (0.7%). The Windows app market is just as bleak. Because of the low level of users and demand most app developers skip Windows Mobile App Development altogether and go where the money and demand is (Android and iOS).

Unfortunately many in the mobile technology news field have written Windows Smartphone OS off as dying or dead. Despite these predictions and current down-trends there is still a decent protion of Nokia and Windows smartphones out there (110 million units). If you are a news broadcaster, activist, restaurant, or other business that wants to interact with as many of your customers as possible on as many platforms as possible then Windows mobile app development can still be right for you.

The next item for consideration in whether or not to seek the development of your own mobile app built for a Windows Smartphone OS is the total number of apps published in the Windows App Store. Compared to Android and iOS the number is quite small at 669,000 compared the the millions in Android and iOS. This factor cuts both ways. While there are less mobile apps available in this store that also plays in your favor with less noise and competition for your app within this space.
