I’m pretty late to this conversation. But I’m asking for a UWP app for Windows/Xbox/HoloLens/Phone. I don’t own Android and iOS devices and my family doesn’t have plans to purchase any such devices. We however own Surface tablets, Xbox Ones, many Windows 10 IoT Core /w Cortana on Raspberry Pies, and Windows 10 Mobile devices. To use it’d be super cool to just say “`Cortana, start the sous vide`” or “`Cortana, ask Anova to start cooking`”. With Microsoft’s upcoming Harmon Cardon “Invoke” speaker this would make our house complete.

It’s hard for me to recommend Anova to my friends when I don’t even know how the app works. Because THAT’s the first question they ask me. Quite honestly the reason I bought the Anova is because I don’t need an app. But I do feel like I’ve been lobotomized when compared to all the features the app brings. There really isn’t any excuses anymore for not having a Windows ecosystem based app. Especially since Microsoft has bent over backwards to provide tools to port iOS apps to Windows using Project Centennial aka “`Windows Bridge for iOS`” [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bridges/ios](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bridges/ios).

Facebook ported the iOS app to Windows and it’s pretty cool. Slack runs on everything now and it’s a chromium app.  
Be like Facebook and Slack. Be cool. You’re only missing out on 700M Windows 10 users. But whateve’s. Vine didn’t build a Windows app until it was too late and look where Vine is today. [DEAD]

My $0.02.
