How would you say are the apps in this regard? Are ios apps more standardized than android's?
- snazz 7y agoYes and there seems to be more developer time invested in iOS apps than Android apps for smoothness—developers know they make more money from their iOS users even taking into account how many more Android devices there are. You might miss not being able to set third-party apps as default for certain actions, but I think this is a valid trade-off for maintaining standards and share extensions are almost as good.
- PossiblyKyle 7y agoThere’s an app called Opener that lets you open third party apps in the relevant pages quickly. Not as fluid as Android but still quick. Personally I’ve been very happy with iOS since the switch a year ago. I’d like to point out that the biggest charm of the gestures is that it’s essentially system wide, including third party apps. Swipe to go back and tap to scroll up are just too convenient and natural for me to go back.
- rdtsc 7y agoI think they are from a few apps I have. But I also don't use that many apps to start with, others might have a better opinion there.
- pdimitar 7y agoDefinitely. I used Android for almost 5 years and I use iOS for 2 now. iOS apps on average are definitely faster, smoother and well-made in terms of visual beauty.
