Oh really? I notice that you all are just assuming so. Exactly what data are apps not able to reach on iOS that they are able to reach on Android? If Google cared about their customers they could write this kind of App as well. But google is not in the same business as Apple. Apple is making the best platform they can. Google is in the business of commoditizing Apple's platform so that google can sell ads on it. Apple charges for its platform and protects customer data. Google gives the platform away for free at the price of your immortal soul.

  The user you replied to certainly thinks so. He's posted variations of that comment several times on this thread. It does not seem to be well received, however.

    HN is a bit sad like that. Comments should be downvoted if they don't add something to the discussion not if you disagree with the opinion.

      I suspect it is because he is being very repetitive (besides being disparaging). Repetition does not add to the discussion.

Google has provided cloud app storage for quite some time now and I believe with M they even said that they are doing full restores including the APK. The real issue as I understand it is that developers haven't taken advantage of all the services available to them.
