From the apps I've worked on, iOS is a much more profitable platform and thus gets the majority of the focus and the initial app releases. Then apps get ported to Android (where they get heavily pirated and generate a fraction of the sales - regardless if time is spent making the app as good or better than its iOS counterpart.)
- Kylekramer 16y agoThat outlook seems like a self fulfilling prophecy.
- lawnchair_larry 16y agoProbably closer to a positive feedback loop.

- brisance 16y agoI think it's the App Store review people who have generally done a good job in ensuring that an iOS app looks and behaves the way it's expected to. I'm not saying whether it's "wrong" or "right", just the mere fact that some warm body is running an app through its paces and makes an actual decision whether to reject it or not ensures a pretty consistent user interface.
- jarek 16y agoWhile many things that can be said about the user interfaces of the three iOS apps shown in the original article, "consistent" definitely isn't one of them.
