One of the few remaining major apps that is missing is the official Starbucks app. Starbucks oddly has official Windows Phone apps available in Mexico and Russia, but not here in their home country of America. Today on Twitter the official @MyStarbucksIdea account replied to an inquisitive Windows Phone user with some promising news.

My Starbucks Idea is a site where users can make suggestions for Starbucks. A Twitter user asked about plans for an official Windows Phone app and received the response “the team is working on something for this. Stay tuned.” The official Starbucks apps on Android and iOS are invaluable to frequent coffee shop-goers. You can store gift cards and even pay with your phone. It’s very neat.

This tweet is anything but a confirmation, but it is promising nonetheless. With the launch of Windows Phone 8.1 just around the corner we can’t help but wonder if they will time it for that. It would be good to have some key app releases for the big announcement. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks Mike and Nik!
