What does this app do? does it only work with a windows phone?

Good question.

Moving to the apps section.

Messaging apps are used for chatting with other users (texting, video calls etc). The most popular are:
WhatsApp
Line
Viber
Hangouts
Google Allo
WeChat
Skype
I prefer using the last one. Here is the article with its description. The main thing is that one can use it both on smartphone and PC.

Quoted from the description of:

Microsoft Messaging

Microsoft Messaging enables quick, reliable SMS, MMS and RCS messaging from your phone. To get started, select Messaging from the All apps list.

Note: The PC version of this app only shows SMS texts from your mobile operator about your data plan (billing, data limits, etc.), and only on devices built for high-speed wireless data (LTE). It can also show messages you've sent and received from apps such as Skype via SMS relay. It can't send texts.
