    K....nerd rant time....

    Android is an open source, operating system created and maintained by Google. Because it's open source, anybody with knowledge of Linux, Ubuntu, or any similar platform, can take the free Android source codes and build upon it. This is why you can take a recent Samsung, and a recent LG, and a recent Motorola, all running the same version of Android, but all have a different feel to them. Even with different features. That said, there's more than 50 manufacturers that build their own versions of Android, and all manufactures all make several different models of phones.

    iOS on the other hand, is not open source. It's made by one company and goes into one product.

    From a developer standpoint, building any app is gonna be way easier on iOS than it'll ever be on Android, mainly because all the devs have to do is test it on the most recent version of ios, and maybe on the prior version just to be safe. Android development is much more of a pain because no developer has the latest and greatest devices from all the manufactures, or all the old budget phones sold at dollar stores. There's no way to get apps running fluently across all of Android because of that. Well....there is, but i don't see kabam taking the time to reach out for people with knowledge, and provide catlogs and kmsg's from people that know how to provide them.

    It's these reasons that Android users will always have cool features literally years before iOS users will get them, but it's also the reason games like mcoc will always run better on iOS.

    Hope that explained it

    Quite possibly the best answer ever. I wish more people would understand this concept. Bravo.
