At the end of this... > Why did this happen in the first place? > My answer is something I call “consistency sin”. Understanding the cause lets us avoid similar situations in the future. Oh seen this happen. Something like... Random boss: "Our iOS and Android apps are not consistent!" Mobile PM/Dev: "But Android users don't care what the iOS app is like. They want the best version of our app for Android" Random boss" "But our iOS and Android apps are not consistent!" Mobile PM/Dev: sigh

This is truly one of the biggest issues when developing apps for customers. They check the app holding an iOS phone in their left hand and an Android one in their right hand, and couldn't for their own life imagine that a user is not in that situation.

As a random user, I'm annoyed non-OS-specific functionality is only implemented on a different platform. So I most definitely care that they're not consistent in that sense.
