I would actually suggest there may be a flip side of this. Android apps tend to feel more clunky than their iPhone counterparts, and the web is universally familiar. But it is possible both can be true at once.
- bko 3y agoI think iOS apps are more heavily monetized because of the high fees. So maybe those are higher quality as that's where the money and paying users are. I wrote a few free iOS apps and I had to pull them because I just don't want to pay $100 a year for something I don't make any money off. Discoverability is terrible for both platforms, but I had better luck finding good free apps on android

- a1o 3y agoThere are better FOSS apps on Android thanks to F-Droid and other efforts. Plus it's not that hard to roll something in a pipeline of an open source project that builds an Android app and have maintainers for it. iPhone Apps require specific hardware and tools to make and maintain, and can't easily be built on an automatic pipeline. So all the work has to be by dedicated people using manual process.
- Larrikin 3y agoWhich apps specifically? As an Android dev that prefers an iPad for their tablet. There's been no discernable difference to me in native apps. It only gets laggy and slow when the app is obviously some poorly put together react native, Xamarin app, or some other non native app. You can tell usually because they just kept the exact same design from their iPhone app. You have to put a lot more work into those kind of apps to make them not run like garbage.
