What I've heard from them is very similar, Android user base is much larger, but the base of Android users willing to PAY for an app is a very small percentage of the Android user base whereas it's nearly 100% of the apple user base. Add on top of that the fragmentation of the Android platform (which I see even in the little caller app not working on some of the Samsung devices) and it becomes more of a marketing investment (get us on the Google Play store/ get us on the App Store) so that people believe they have a choice to continue to use the app if they switch away from Apple than it is an actual investment in a product for Android users.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, the pattern community is usually willing to spend some bucks for something that's valuable to them, and it's worthwhile for me to continue to plug away at building the app for Android users as well.
