For the sake of the new mobile friends app... what is your cell phone?

Aír·Feb 25, 2016·1 votes·472 views

I would like to do a quick survey to see how many people own what type of devices. I understand the dominace of iPhones and Android devices, but I am also curious about how Windows phones fare.

It is just that Riot will not make that friends app for the WIndows phones because no body uses them. I just want to see if we might be able to prove it wrong. I love my windows phone.

But I love League of Legends more and I do not have money to switch phone and doing so will hurt my productivity.

P.S. This poll strictly applies to iPhone, Android, and Windows phones.

It might, if the Windows Phone users get upset enough when it breaks in the future.

"Would it kill someone" is a pretty lame argument which could be used to argue making the app for Blackberry, Palm OS, Ubuntu Phone, Tizen, Windows Mobile, etc.

Worldwide, Android makes up 80.7% of the market, iOS makes up 17.7% of the market, and Windows Phone makes up 1.1% and is declining. From a business perspective, there's absolutely no reason to support Windows Phone.

What's more likely to happen is that Riot will use their Open Authentication system (developed as part of the mobile app) to make it so you don't need to log into the Boards, then log in again to access the eSports page, then log in again to access the Developer page. After that looks works, then Riot's mentioned plans to turn it over to the community, as a way for 3rd party websites to verify you are actually the account over. After that point I'd expect to see an unofficial app for Windows Phone.
