Hey Podio people.

If I decided to develop a podio app for UWP (Windows Phone primarily), would you guys want me to give it a specific name to not conflict with your brand?

I am thinking of putting ads in the app in as little of an obnoxious way of possible, I thought I might disclose this before I put anything up on the Windows App Store.

I know many posts have been made on this before but I researced a bit and the last update I have seen about an actual, albeit unofficial Podio app is from 2014 on Oval Business Solutions website.

  Hi Marc-Sebastian,

  As long as you don't use Podio in your brandname this should be fine.

  It should be clear from your logo and name that you are an external developer.

  Here is one example from a partner that built an extension on Podio API: https://smartgantt.com/

  Cheers,

  Sara - Podio

  Fantastic.

  But I'm fine writing in the description in stating that the app is an unofficial podio client/app right?

  I asked Oval Business Solutions on Twitter if they're still developing their app and have not gotten a response yet. (As info for other viewers or oval themselves were they to come across this post)

  Hi Marc-Sebastian

  A universal app for Windows 10 (phone, tablet, PC, ..) would be highly appreciated. For some reason, Windows doesn't seem to be on Podios radar. And a paid, ad-free version would be welcome as well :)

  Looking forward to see what you come up with.

  All the best

  Jes
