    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Good god, people's angry emails are streaming in. And I still haven't figured out what's crashing my app. Everything still look logically sound. Why me? :(

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    I'm totally stressed out over this. This project has been my baby. I've spent the last 20 hours on this and still have no idea what's causing the crash. Everything looks fine logically. :( :( :(

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Latest windows update broke my app! Last night, a user of my app Metro Word contacted me and told me the app crashes every time he tried to type something. I tested from all angles on 5 different machines and everything worked fine. Before I went to sleep, I set my surface pro 3 to download...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    So, I've been working on UI upgrades to make navigation easier and more visually pleasing. For example, last month I added a main menu page to make it easier for the user to navigate to templates, recent documents, etc. Soon, I will send out an update to allow the user the option to change...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Question for you guys. My app daily downloads and purchases have stabilized to a comfortable rate. However, checking the breakdown demo by age shows that about 65% of purchasers are people over 55. Anybody have any idea on how I can also appeal to the younger crowd?

    Please help me solve this output display problem

    I just bought an 8 inch windows 8 tablet. The idea is I would Velcro it to the wall not too far from my 50" tv and play netflix, youtube, and the movies I have on my hard drive, which is connected to my network router on my tv via hdmi. Just think star trek. It's pretty cool. I have it set...

    Poll FYI - Do Not Reboot SP3 with TypeCover Folded Back

    I doubt MS will deal with this. Big corporations like MS is like a train. You can report all the bugs you want. The train will keep moving, aka stick to their time table. Their engineers and programmers work in an outside info free environment. As a programmer, I've given up long ago on...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    A little update. The months of December and January were very kind to my app. Overall, the download and buy rates have been steadily gone up. Also got more good (and a few bad) reviews. So, I'm adding a main menu page to make it easier for people. Got a few emails suggesting this. So...

    HoloLens: Microsoft's Most Intriguing Reveal During Windows 10 Briefing

    Here's the problem with this. We know that cell phones already cause a huge distraction to. people, especially teenagers. Some 20-some year olds today just stay in their parents' basement and play games all day. I've seen this. I see this technology as reinforcement to all these negative...

    Surface 2 manufacturing terminated. No Mas No Mas

    Yup, which is why all the ipads that my company got people have become expensive email machines. When the ipad first came out, the corporate leaders were enthusiastic about it. They even had LOB software written for it. Well, people in my company nowadays just use it for email. The ipad...

    Office for Windows 10 FREE on W10 Phones & small Tablets

    I understand that. Forget small tablets. Try to imagine doing some lite editing of a document on your surface pro 3 without the keyboard. A little over the bottom half of the screen is taken up by the virtual keyboard. The top 1/3 of the screen is taken up by the top menus. Take your...

    Surface 2 manufacturing terminated. No Mas No Mas

    As I have been saying since winrt first came out, almost all of the corporate world are still using x32 applications for everyday tasks. As much as I liked winrt concept, after getting a winrt device I found myself unable to do the most basic tasks with our LOB software. Did MS really expect...

    Office for Windows 10 FREE on W10 Phones & small Tablets

    After looking at the screenshots of the touch-first office apps, I have one complaint. The virtual keyboard takes up a little over half of the bottom screen. The touch-first office apps menus take up the top 1/3 of the screen. Do you see where I'm going with this? When the user wants to edit...

    Anyone find the forum software ironic?

    The surface is primarily a touch screen device, yes? Why is the forum dedicated to the surface family using software that is specifically for a mouse? I'm talking about having to hover a mouse over a thread to get the page links to appear.
