Peripheral question. The app appears to be iPhone only.
I'm honestly curious why people do this, and I've never gotten a satisfactory answer. iPhone market share is 15% at best while Android is 75%. It seems like releasing an iPhone-only first iteration kneecaps the enterprise out of the gate. What am I not understanding?
- lancepioch 5y agoiOS has more market share in the US than Android. Regarding paid apps, iOS has higher app store revenue than Android overall.
- herval 5y agoTechnical aspects aside (no OS variance, etc), iPhone apps make more money than Android (2x or more, last I checked, despite being a smaller share of total phones). So targeting iPhone first is a common strategy

- sudo-i 5y agoLike many things it’s a combination of many answers, but from my own experience it’s a simpler pipeline with Apple phones. On Android it’s supporting tons of screen sizes, out of date versions, different vendor modifications to the OS. Looking at it as iOS vs Android isn’t correct because Android is a fragmented mess.
- antonium 5y agoYou are overthinking it. This looks like something that evolved from a side/hobby project, so it must've been made for whatever devices that devs themselves use. That's it.
