windows rt

Although I would also vote for a android version or cloud version of hero labs I read the threads and understand those aren't coming any time soon.

However what about a windows Rt version? Any plans for something like this?

I assume since the original version is for windows this wouldn't be as hard as porting to a whole new OS but I understand all companies have priorities so I thought I would ask.

Thanks
 
Right now Windows RT apps are on the "maybe" pile along with Android apps. Our current plan right now is to discuss the feasibility of bringing Hero Lab to another tablet OS after the full Hero Lab app comes out on iPad. If that changes, we will update everyone in our monthly newsletter. :)
 
From what I understand, I thought Windows RT only ran modern apps and not desktop applications. Modern apps and desktop applications are two totally different beasts, and changing Hero Lab to a modern app would probably take just as much work as porting to iOS, OSX, Android, GNU/Linux distributions, etc.
 
Not to mention that RT is not exactly a widely used OS. If they're going to branch out an Android app would be the way to go. Lots more people use Android. The only reason I have an iPad is because of Hero Lab. I prefer Android.

It's true that RT is not very common, but people can run Windows RT apps on the full version as well. I'm not sure people would necessarily choose the RT app over the desktop app, but in theory you'd have the ability to run either one on a full Windows 8(.1) install.

This is pretty much exactly true. :( Even though everything we have runs fine on Windows, Microsoft don't let you use "old windows" specific code on windows RT, so we'd have to totally rewrite a lot of code. :(
 
how about regular windows?

any chance of seeing an interface like HL for iPad, but running on regular windows, either in the main app, or as a separate program?

it would nice to run at on a laptop or windows-based tablet (surface-pro, any of the new 2-in-1 computers...)
