I recently bought a Windows Phone device (the very well known Lumia 800. Thx Microsoft&Nokia for all the advertisement in the Paris’ metro)
The idea was to build some apps for the windows market before it gets overcrawded like the IOS & the Android one are.
For a start, I decided to build a very simple app, in order to publish and to have info on the process.
I noticed they were no simple app allowing a user to perform a ping on an Url or an IP and get the delay. That’s how Simple Ping was born!
- Screen from the Windows Phone Emulator : Simple ping in action!
The logo is from my friend ohw (http://www.who-is-ohw.com)
- Number of total downloads + ad related crashes after 3 weeks (yeah, so popular ;))
Ad provided by Microsoft adControl can sometimes bring some crashes (caught though), which make my dashboard looks like my app are not robust! I will work on a solution to avoid getting those useless reports during the next developments.
