Solving DiscoverabilityWhat Developers Told Us• Help users find my app in more

and smarter lists• I’ve invested in Live Tiles and

Trial but its too hard to get noticed for that

• My app doesn’t show up in Search even when it should

• How can users who might like my app, but haven’t heard of it, find it?

• If my app is more niche, how does it stand out in a catalog of 100,000+

What Users Told Us• Make it easy for me to find

popular and highly rated free apps & games

• Help me find apps with a live tile or which have a free trial available

• Improve app search so I can more easily find what I’m looking for

• Show me other apps I might like based on what I (and my friends) like

• Help me find really good groups of apps based on genre, my location or seasonUsers and Developers both want the same things for Discoverability

Windows Phone 8 Store delivers.
