I decided to take a look at the Windows Phone store just to compare the app situation with our own Blackberry World. I have to admit I am impressed with all the new apps that WP has managed to get.

I made a list of top apps on WP that are missing on BlackBerry:

Pandora
Kik Messenger
Netflix
Wells Fargo
Amazon
Viber
Shazam
Hulu+
Chase
IMDB
Vevo
Line
Voxer
Spotify
Bank of America
Tumblr
Map Quest
LivingSocial
Redbox
Yelp
Paypal
Domino's
Xfinity TV
Home Depot
Vimeo
Zillow
Utorrent Remote
Craigslist
Bloomberg
Pizza Hut
DirecTV

I will stop here, but I could keep going . I think this list explains why BlackBerry 10 is not selling. Now I want to reverse things a bit AND this is an honest question:

What apps are on BlackBerry 10, but not on Windows Phonw?

meh don't care, only two in that list matter to me, PayPal and Vevo, both of which I can do from my Q10 and Dev B's browser

wow. That is alot. However a few things give windows the advantage.

1. They OS has been out longer.
2. They have a larger ecosystem/audience. The apps can be available on PC/Table/phone.

It make better sense for some devs to develop app since many people will use a window pc.

I hope you agree that a lot of people do care about at least 1-2 apps in that list.

Windows is winning the app race because of windows 8 computers

[Andrew4life]

None of those on the list are of any interest . Though I am not a heavy app user in the first place.

The only thing on the list I would have wanted is Shazam, but Soundhound works better. With their new update, when I have no network connection, it will even save the sound clip to try and tag later on.

Pizza Hut and Dominos are what you consider "top apps"? Seriously?

[uzmarvel]

Again, not everyone cares about those apps in the list. And those people are buying the smartphone they like. Are you one of those who's weeping because they didn't know that AppWorld didn't have Netflix?

The only missing item for me is Deutsche Bank app which is available only on iOS (not even android). I know some people who'd love to have Viber but it's also coming in for 10.2

Microsoft can throw cash at those companies to get their apps, BlackBerry can't do that.

[undone]

And they should be. Windows phone has been out longer then BB10 and Microsoft doesn't mind loosing Billions to keep themselves still in the game.

I can't even get Metallica (music) in BlackBerry World. Sad But True. (See what I did there)

BlackBerry World - Search Results

Native skype

Been saying this for months, everyone laughed at me. Now you see.

That doesn't help kris, we need these apps if we want this platform to survive.


Ps : I am not interested in any of the list. Only rbc is missing in my app wish list

Not surprising as M$ bought them

Wouldn't be nice if the "I have what I want" and the "who needs that anyway" people out numbered the ones who do want those instead of those people out numbering you by a very large margin.

[koolrosh]

Pizza Hut and Dominos are what you consider "top apps"? Seriously?

I put up a list of more than 30 Apps missing on BlackBerry and all you could do is to pick on 2 apps that you don't consider to be top apps? Seriously?

This list is based on the top 200 free apps. So yes, they are top apps at least for Windows users.

Don't see native Instagram! That is the biggest thing! I could have sold 5 Z10 devices with native Instagram!

Partly due to the fact that Blackberry 10 is a new OS and Blackberry hasn't gotten developers to get on board yet. Blackberry could be doing everything in their power to get developers to give in but they don't have to comply. The only apps I used when I had my iphone 5 was Amex banking and a few sports apps. If Blackberry could get my banking app I would be fine.

They're certainly not what I'd consider top pizza.

Well, yes, you say that but just because you don't care doesn't mean that millions of others do. The Windows Store seems to be chock full of top apps. BlackBerry World simply does not have them

Actually, with the exception of Bank of America and wells Fargo, I don't consider any of them to be top apps. Those two just happened to be the most ridiculous.

Keep your head in the sand. Blackberry is doing fine.

Many of these apps apply only to the US market. I said many not all. I'd be interested to know what other top apps from other countries are missing.

I'm with you. People can't stay in denial about the app problem. A lot of members have the attitude "If it isn't on BlackBerry, nobody should need it and those who do want it are just sheep".
