The next update for the Windows Phone 8 version of LCARS Interface is now available in the Windows Phone Store! This release adds an important feature of being able to upload log files of all types to your SkyDrive account. Due to Windows Phone restrictions on where you can save files, uploading to a cloud based service is the only way to get files off of the device. Due to some issues with the Windows Phone 7 version of the Windows Live SDK, we are still currently working on adding the same functionality to the Windows Phone 7.1+ version of the app. We are hoping to have that version updated soon, but there is currently no ETA for this.
We have some big plans for Windows Phone that will hopefully make the LCARS Interface app the best phone app of its kind! We do have to work within the limitations of the Windows Phone/Windows Store platforms themselves, though. These 2 operating systems are limited in what they have access to similar to the restrictions apps have on iOS devices with regards to system level access. Android does not have most of these restrictions, so you may see apps for that which do things that Windows Phone apps are not capable of due to the OS itself. This annoys us as much as everyone else, but it is what it is for now unless Microsoft changes their policies on some of it. That said, we are constantly working to be innovative in how we work within those bounds to deliver the best apps possible to you all! We thank you for the great feedback and also for the many great reviews we are getting for all of our LCARS apps in Windows Phone/Windows 8 Stores across the globe!
