Windows Phone Gets Exclusive Disqus App: No Plans For Android, iOS

While it seems like all the goodies and cool apps always head to either Android or iOS, Windows Phone users can now look forward to something exclusive.

Per reports, the Windows Phone users are on their way to get a brand new official app from Disqus, the very popular blog commenting platform, with the app being available exclusively for WP users.

As of now, a number of Web sites across the internet use Disqus. What it does is it allows users to sign in with a variety of social accounts, while building up stats. The app also allows users to participate in conversations on Web sites that utilize Disqus.

For people who are unaware about Disqus, Disqus powers the commenting system on many Web sites and blogs, offering users a single-way to sign in through social networks, and more. Users can maintain accounts so that their Disqus “history” goes with them, regardless of the site they are commenting on.

The official Windows Phone version of the app is now available in the Windows Phone Store and, per WMPoweruser, “truth be told, it’s a solid little app. The goal of the app is to help facilitate conversation, so instead of going to sites and then engaging in some debate, you can just go to your Disqus app and continue the conversation there.”

Below is the list of key features:

  • Stay current with your favorite discussions by receiving timely notifications any time a user replies to you.
  • Follow friends, frenemies, dinosaurs, and site authors to get updates on their activity throughout the web.
  • Explore the thousands of active communities and millions of active discussions within the app in the Explore section.
  • Interact with discussions every way you're familiar with on Disqus: write comments and replies, star your favorite discussions, vote on comments and mention users all within a fluid, native interface.
  • Live tiles deliver notifications and new activity right to your home screen. Pin extra tiles for search queries and discussions you want to stay on top of.
  • Moderate discussions for any Disqus-enabled site you administer.

As of now, Disqus does not have any plans for an Android or iOS app, although they are expected to arrive some time later.
