Marketplace issues

Microsoft has made some drastic changes to Marketplace for Mobile and released the new web pages this week. The upgrade adds some very important new features that benefits both developers and the customers. The bad thing is that the upgrade has made Contact Changer (and many other applications) disappear from most of the markets! I don´t know what Microsoft is doing but I really hope they are working this weekend to sort things out!

The new version of Marketplace supports “World view”. “World view” makes it possible to buy applications from other markets! They have also changed the additional market submission price. It´s now free to publish to new markets as long as it does not require an upgrade of the binary. I´ve already submitted requests for several markets but I assume that the review times are pretty high at the moment.

If you have trouble finding Contact Changer in your local Marketplace, please download it from MobiHand or PocketLand.

Impressed by Marketplace review times!

On sunday evening I submitted upgrades of both my applications to the AppStore and Marketplace. Contact Changer has been translated to a number of languages and SMSBank has a new feature, transfer money to friends. SMSBank is still waiting for the review by Apple, Contact Changer was reviewed in two days!

When I received the notification of the successful review, I logged in to the Marketplace dashboard and added Germany and France as additional markets. Three hours later I got two new notifications from Microsoft. They had both been approved! Once again I logged in and submitted it to Netherlands. 16 hours later, another successful review and it was ready to be published!

4 reviews in 3 days, I have to say I´m impressed!

I´ll blog another post later about a trick I learned to avoid the fact that reviews and “Most popular” rank are reset when you update an application with additional languages.

Contact Changer in new markets!

Contact Changer has just been approved by Microsoft for the french and german market!

I’ve also sent a dutch version to Microsoft for approval. Italian translation is done but might take some time since it will require a complete upgrade of the existing application on the Marketplace. I’m hoping to include spanish in the same submission.
