Not sure why these companies release there apps for iOS first when Android has the market share. It makes absolutely no business sense.

- sazpaz 14y agoDespite more uniques coming from Android, maybe iOS user show more engagement.
- goatforce5 14y agoI believe that's what the statistics say. eg, something from a Google search just now: http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=9&qpcustom=iOS,Android&sample=29 http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share....
- zeroonetwothree 14y agoPossibly because most of the employees use iOS...
- billeh 14y agoMuch easier to optimize for three very similar phones versus hundreds (thousands?) of Android phones?
- wallflower 14y agoEven though Facebook for Android may have higher monthly active users, the iOS user base from a marketing perspective is a more attractive demographic to target nascent mobile revenue opportunities at. Soccer moms almost exclusively use iPhones.
- shadesandcolour 14y agoThis again? Really? The main improvement in this version is that it was rewritten for iOS, it didn't need to be rewritten for Android. Whether or not you have more marketshare doesn't mean you need an update for a platform you're not on.
- koyote 14y agoHaving used the android version from since it first came out: It definitely needs to be rewritten for Android.
- notatoad 14y agoAndroid has the market share, iOS has the usage share. Lots of people get android phones who have no desire to use it as a smartphone, they just get a free phone that happens to be android. iPhone users actually use their iPhones for Facebook and web browsing and other smartphone tasks.
