Really disappointed with Application Development for Tablet PC's

Hopefully The Roach will drop by and he'll know who to contact inside Microsoft. That is almost as bad as Samsung's Galaxy Store.

So, inexplicably, Store search is now working from my location. "Microsoft" returns 1857 apps but, of course, none of them is Font Maker. Searching for "font maker" or "fontmaker" returns a few canned fonts and some miscellaneous apps, and that's it.

Microsoft has a real problem here. Store is a Microsoft app... arguably a very important Microsoft app... operating in a Microsoft OS and it doesn't work! WTF? I read that Microsoft's vision is now the Cloud and the Enterprise but consumers still constitute an important component of their current business. Microsoft has an obligation to us to get it right... but lately it's starting to look like they don't really care..!

 

And they want us to move away from "legacy" programs to Windows S Mode and Store Apps. Sheesh. Here's two consecutive searches within 30 seconds of each other, for "Microsoft" of all things, with drastically different results:

 

And with this link :

Sorry the link does not work.
But this is the store who gives it to me

 

Searching "Microsoft font maker"

 

I'm not currently on an Insider build on any of the PCs I've downloaded it on, but they have been on Insider in the past. Wonder if that's part of it.

 

I am an insider.

 

No FontMaker today, either.

 

I just checked on the Microsoft Store for Microsoft Font Maker and Font Maker. I'm in Ohio on 1803. No results for Microsoft Font Maker. Font Maker returns some garbage applications in the results. But not this Microsoft application.

 

Quick question to the community about OneNote. @crp852 isn't able to open the OneNote template that I created and shared with several of you. Here's the information he gave me:

"I have both the UWP OneNote and OneNote 2016 installed on both my desktop machine & Surface Pro 3. For both machines, when I first try to run OneNote Planner, a prompt appears: 'Specify the Notebook Properties' and I have to browse to a path for the notebook.

No matter what path I choose (local drive or a folder in my OneDrive), I get the following error: 'Currently, you can only create notebooks on OneDrive. Active an Office 365 subscription for more notebook options.' And then I can choose 'Learn more' or 'OK', and the install ends."

I personally have Office 365 Home. When I open the UWP, I can click on the More Notebooks... button and then it shows me all of my OneNote notebooks that aren't open that exist in OneDrive or that exist on my local computer. I just click on the one that says local computer and then it prompts me to move it to OneDrive.

Does this only happen if you're an Office 365 Personal or Home subscriber?
