You Won't Be Able to Use PayPal's App on These Phones Anymore

Shares of PayPal Holdings  (PYPL) are down by 1.68% to $38.11 late Thursday afternoon, as the San Jose, CA-based technology platform company announces it is discontinuing its apps on the Windows Phone (MSFT), BlackBerry (BBRY) and Amazon's(AMZN) Fire OS.https://fortunedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/
As of June 30, the only two of PayPal's money transaction apps remaining will be on Google's Android (GOOGL) and Apple's(AAPL) iOS.

"It was a difficult decision to no longer support the PayPal app on these mobile platforms. But we believe it's the right thing to ensure we are investing our resources in creating the very best experiences for our customers," Joanna Lambert, PayPal's consumer product VP, said in a statement.
BlackBerry users can still send payments through BBM, while Windows users can enable PayPal payments through Outlook.com, according to CNBC. The mobile website is also available to any user without an app.
Focusing on the two apps will allow PayPal to make enhancements to its "mobile experiences," giving customers "the best possible ways to manage and move their money," according to the company.
