I spent the last few weeks building a UWP app for Windows 10 that finally made it into the Windows Store. The biggest challenge was that UWP seems to have limitations with the .net version for UWP has a different API, particularly around the UDPClient API. Shameless plug, it's available here https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9PCD9X9M1P5C Any ideas on what additional features you would like to see?
