Last year, Micrososft made a bold announcement that it will quickly narrow the gap between Windows Phone Store compared to other app stores like iOS or Android before the end of 2014. And so far, efforts have shown some encouraging results.

Specifically, according to the data as of September 30, Windows Phone Store application store has more than 340,000 thousand applications, meanwhile, on the Windows Store app store also has more than 187,000 applications.

Of course, the individual comparison here will not be a problem when both applications will soon be merged into one of Windows 10 released next year. Thus, as of now, Microsoft has more than 527,000 applications in general.

Earlier, in August 2014, Microsoft also announced that the Windows Phone app store has grown rapidly and soon reached 300,000 applications compared to the expected.

In addition, an interesting information in the data release this time, Microsoft said, the Office for iPad application that the company released recently has received more positive feedback from users with more 45 million downloads.
