LCARS Interface featured as Red Stripe deal in the Windows 8 Store!

As part of their ongoing Red Stripe deal promotion, Microsoft has chosen LCARS Interface for Windows 8 to participate this week! For approximately one week you will be able to purchase the app for 50% off the normal price!

We're only a couple days in and the response has been wonderful so far! It is great to hear that so many from all over the world like what we have done with the app, and we are sure that you will continue to enjoy the major updates we have planned for the coming months! We also appreciate all of the new 5 star reviews we have gotten in the past couple days! As always, we read each and every one of them and take any suggestions made very seriously about how we can improve the experience for you. No request is too big or too small...we will do it if we can.

So far it seems that with Windows 8.1, Microsoft has made quite a few things available through their APIs that were previously not available, and many of those things have been requested before, so we are looking forward to now being able to address that in the coming updates. Given the extensive changes happening, it is not likely that we will release another update for Windows 8.0. Given that the update to 8.1 is completely free, and anything running Windows 8.0 can upgrade to it, we see no reason to hold back the capabilities and support 2 platforms.  It is a very different scenario than Windows Phone has, where we will be continuing to support WP7 because those users have no option to upgrade to a newer version.  We have completed our modifications to support legacy WP7 devices that were mentioned in the last post. We see no major issues with continuing WP7 feature additions if they are possible on the platform, other than potentially a short delay after we release for WP8.

Hope all of you have recovered from the holidays!
