I'd counter that with the fact that this is a social app, and thus depends on being able to saturate networks of people. This means that if someone that does interesting things wants to share those on this app, and happen to have Android, you could have lost a really valuable "node" that could have helped you saturate both markets more.
- supercoder 12y agoYeah totally, in theory it makes sense with a social app to consider as many platforms as possible. Though in practise I haven't seen it hurt social networks that start on iOS. Instagram is the obvious example. Keep in mind 700million is a really big number of addressable users, and there will be plenty of valuable node / users there. I guess my point is still that if you're struggling on iOS in the early days, it's not because your app isn't available to 'enough' people, its because something else is wrong, which more platforms almost certainly won't fix.
