After a recent cut-off from Snapchat's services and removal of all 3rd party apps from the Windows Marketplace, Windows Phone users are again left behind and forced to wait until Snapchat releases the official API. Several accounts have been banned for using 3rd party apps that were installed prior to their removal from the Marketplace.

As a Windows Phone user, I think its time developers realize the need to release their products to all platforms at the same time, not strictly to iOS or Android users. Windows Phone along with other platforms have gained much popularity over the past year especially overseas.

Having Snapchat recognize how many people they have cut off from their service and how they have denied developers such as Rudy Huyn, an outspoken critic of the 3rd party app purge, will hopefully push them to release the API to other platforms ASAP as to stop denial of service.
