Bad enough that when Intuit announced today that it was stopping development of its popular Mint personal finance app for Windows Phone, users went absolutely nuts.
"There's so much about the Windows Phone app that we love - and it's hard for us to say goodbye to it - but we are confident that this change will help you get even more out of Mint," says in an officical blog post $4.
Mint goes on to recommend logging in to the service via the web browser, since all their account information is still saved online.
Except there's a problem with that, too. If you go to Mint's website from a Windows Phone's browser, users report that it takes you to the Google Play app store. For the Android app. That doesn't work on Windows Phone.
Users are furious.
"Your developers are lazy and your management is incompetent if they thought screwing over the users was the right action," says the top-voted comment on the blog post, in part.
"Well I guess Mint doesn't get my business then. Way to stay behind the times, hopefully your management doesn't choke the whole company out on a few years," says another comment.
It spilled over onto Twitter, naturally:
I just closed my $4 account due to announcing the removal of their app from Windows Phone. Hope you'll reconsider a $4 app!

$4 Seriously? Dropping your Windows Phone app with Universal Apps available? Say goodbye to another customer.
