Microsoft has finalized the list of categories to choose from to help classify any app you may want to place on the marketplace or find on the marketplace. They have come up with a total of 41 categories/subcategories and other is not an option. Seriously I mean what if my app is so unique it just doesn’t fit into one of those categories, come on man.

2. Business
3. Entertainment
4. Finance
5. Games
