Last month, Hulu launched its universal Windows app for smartphones, tablets, and PCs. After all, both Apple’s App Store and Google Play passed 1.5 million in the middle of last year, so it’s possible the company wants to avoid direct comparisons.īut still, if there is good news to share around momentum, Microsoft should be doing so. Maybe the number is getting quite close to 1 million, and Microsoft is simply waiting for the seven-digit figure. There is potential here.Įven if only 100 apps were added every day (again, the quote above says “hundreds”), by my calculation there should be about 850,000 apps in the Windows Store right now.

One app can work on your Windows 10 computer, Windows 10 tablet, Windows 10 Mobile smartphone, Xbox One console, and HoloLens headset. The universal Windows platform ( UWP) allows developers to build a single app that changes based on your device and screen size.
