Sorry if this has already been discussed before... but I could not find any reference to it here.

I've been using a Surface Pro 3 for some time now and am very pleased with it. I'm disappointed that there is not an "official" Windows 8 app for Smugmug. The Windows 8 (phone) app works nicely but it seems that there is nothing other than third party apps for the Microsoft tablets. I realize that I can view and administer my Smugmug account using any browser but would really like a more elegant interface for the tablet. I've downloaded and tried... Smug8, SmugApp, MySmug, Smugly, and SmugBug, but am not really satisfied with any of them.

It is especially disappointing to watch as Smugmug releases new apps for Apple products every time they release a new device knowing I'm still waiting for an "official" app for the Surface products that were introduced in October 2012.

Is there an app for Windows 8 other that the ones I've listed above available?

    Hi afgliafw,

    I had the opportunity to use Surface Pro 3 for few days and yes - it has some great features. I really did not find the need to have a SmugMug browsing app for it - because the web experience on this hybrid tablet/computer is fantastic. The screen resolution made the web experience really good.

    At the moment I have not heard any news about a dedicated app for this system - but I would suggest that you post this on our uservoice page:
