Android vs iOS

Android powerful than iOS. Read this

Hi! Here is some information for you:

Android. Google brings Android users an opportunity to get a device that's ready for work. It's facilitated by a rich variety of integrated Google services (such as Search, Maps, Docs, News, Talk, Now, Google+, and much more). There are multiple features that can be brought to or used in custom mobile apps. These include Android Beam technology (based on NFC), bi-directional and vertical text support, Wi-Fi Direct and external display support, expandable notifications and widgets, geolocation, in-app payments, social media integration, and more.

iOS. Apple's OS has always been known for a simple and intuitive user interface. The latest iOS6 gives an updated and improved set of standard features, still lacking multitasking. iOS requires a number of Apple products to run and synchronize its ecosystem, where Mac is the core. Apple constantly brings in new features for software developers. Notable ones include iCloud storage, Passbook integration, geolocation, in-app payments etc. All of these can be implemented in your applications.

Source Android vs. iOS vs. Windows Phone

I would prefer to go with android its pretty easy to code and its easy to customize the application as per our need. Its bit faster in development compare to IOS

The Apple store currently offers 700,000 apps, 250,000 of which are available for the ipad. Most developers prefer to develop games for iOS before they develop for Android.

I'd go iOS if you're certain you want to develop on that platform. Android users for whatever reason don't really download apps compared to iOS users.

Plus iOS (and Windows) have a review process. If it passes Apple's, then easy to port to Android. But if you do Android first, and have to make modifications for Apple, it means you'll (most likely) have to update the Android app for consistency.

Warning - Apple's review process is irritating and unintentionally quite funny (especially after a glass of wine).

I think you should go for Android...People have more options with Android as they can even buy a low budget Android smartphone.. You may get more exposure...

I would develop for both if you can, but if you have to pick one I'd go for iOS. There are much more people using the App store on iOS compared to Google Play, so you'll get much more downloads and no exposure. The only downside is that a fee is required to publish an app, ans you have to wait while they review the app unlike Android.

Are you going to charge for your app? If you look at it, iOS users are more willing to pay for apps compared to Android users. I believe that most major apps launch with iOS first. This does not imply that iOS is superior to Android but this should be considered because targeting iOS users has lesser problems to deal with.

I do not have experience with iOS and work in Android projects, how ever it would be always good to work with multiple plat forms to make regular income.

More apps in iOs but I don't think Android is bad either. But I think Android is better.

The answer is simple...you go with the OS who get the most market share first

1) Android
2) Iphone
3) Windows phone
4) Blackbery

SUGGESTIONS: You should consider a Web application instead of a native application for many reasons

1) A Web application will work on all OSes
2) If you Application need the Internet...you go with an Web application
3) Easier to maintain
5) Cost less
6) Fast design
7) and more...

I think one should not be arguing on this
The Android are stronger than the IOS

Hum...depends no?

I like iOS but adnroid it's easier and when you try to find offers to promote with PPC for example, android usually converts better

Android hands down...

Here have a look at this article it will help you in knowing more about the differences between Android and iOS mobile application development process https://www.apsense.com/article/andr...velopment.html

If making apps is your business you have to consider both platforms. At the same time you have to keep in mind that there are more Android phones in the world. It's just depends on what type of apps you are going to develop really - games, business apps, eBooks etc.

no doubt, Android is much stronger and more competitive than iOS operating system.

Always android ... hands down! Made the move to a smartphone few months ago (terrible I know lol). But android wins everytime for me.

I would suggest Android simply because I think it would be an easier platform to test on, IOS is more proprietary and in my opinion would be more difficult to get to work.

and-roid.........................|.................... .i-phone
wider reach [android]
Free apps work better...........................- audience pay for good apps
too many phone models.........................- limited model and os version [less customizations]
easy to get into...................................- apple store bit difficult


many more difference when it comes to demographics, usage, purchasing power... do a bit of research n you'll get ur answer.

If you're serious, then obviously iOS is your first choice.

If you just want to play around for fun then try Android (it's cheaper to get started and apparently easier to programme). If you're going to build a successful social media app (like everyone else wants to) then you will have to develop for iOS then port to Android if it's a success. Going "backwards" from Android to iOS will be a pain as someone already mentioned above. The phone saturation is about 50/50 (with Android starting to lead last I checked) but as for apps - iOS is where the pros live.

That's what I reckon anyway.

iOS apps make far more money than Android, but Android is destroying the market at the moment. Sales projections for next year have 50 percent of all computer devices marked as tablets with 65 percent of these sales being projected to be Android devices.

Also, in the 3rd quarter of this year, Android dominated with 81 percent of all mobile units shipped. Android powered 211 million units out of 261 million units shipped. iOS in comparison had only 16.9 percent of the sales during that quarter. While people make more money on apps for iOS, it seems like Android is beginning to dominate the market more and more.

They both have pros and cons.
iOS does better in security and speed.

Android definitely has a bigger market share. So I would suggest that you start with Android and then go to iOS.

No doubt, Android is definitely at boom. You start with either of them, you're going to earn good. The only difference is that, Android App development is easy to start with. My personal suggestion is that you start with Android and then move to iOS later.
Good Luck.

hi claudia,

its no wonder that apple simplifies a lot the development of any app to be uploaded to its marketplace..if u are very talented and expert on handling with coding..there should not be any problem to select ios vs android..just keep in mind that with android..maybe you wiill be forced to adapt some features of the app to different mobile devices as u know android is widely used on various sort of smartphones and tablets!! so i would go on the ios path to start out and once you get some money and background on the business.. just jump right into the android platform!!

hope this clears u up a little on your concern!! good luck Claudia!!

Openness will ultimately be better in the long run, it seems. You can probably infer my answer.

Andriod I read in a report in asia it has average of 81% smartphone is andriod and beside it is easy to approve but mostly free stuff seeker

Android market is more popular comparing to IOS market. Android phone is cheap in rate and user can easily buy android mobile that's why the today lots of people using android mobile and android console account fee is only pay to only one time to Google play store to buy developer account and in IOS account user have to pay every years to maintain the account. If anyone looking for buying android account then PM me. I have account in bulk for sale at very Good price.

IOS buyers can definetly bring you more profits.

Without mentioning what type of app you are developing, you won't get any real help.

First thing you have to do is to identify where your target audience are, which country are you targeting, platform, demographics etc matters first...if you are looking mature markets like US then iOS have better placed and if you targeting developing nations like china, india then android may score better....again ultimately the importance should be given to the outcome, functionality and user friendlessness, it may be easy to develop an app in particular platform but what if your TG is in some other platform......

it definately has to be android all the way lol

You can start with Android. As it was said above, it is not very difficult to develop an application for this platform. If everything will work well then you can think to iOS

Android is more popular comparing to IOS so must go with Android.

Android is more powerful than ios. Common man is choosing android operating system as its scope is really vast.

iphone users tend to spend more than android ones. But there are more android users than iphone. So, if its a free app, go for android. If you're going to charge for it, ios is the way to go.

Hello,
Both platforms are best and having strong ground grip on app development market. But at initial level, when you going to start developing then start form Android. Because it is open source and many resources available which helps you in app development. Once you create your foundation in app development then switch on to iOS app development. And if you want to choose particular platform both of them as per my review go for Android.

Android has a bigger base than iOS. But I would suggest launching the app on both the stores. Many a times, an app might not do well on iOS but gets freaking number of downloads on Google Playstore and vice-versa.

First off you need data. Which country will you be targeting ? Free or Paid app ? What is the competition on both platforms for an app similar to yours? Get specific download info for social media apps to see how they are doing. There are already a bunch BTW !
If it is a paid app it will more than likely do better on iOS, however it is more expensive to advertise for. In the USA iOS is doing great. Android does well in many countries and does well in the USA, but iPhone users in general spend more money.

I have been looking into this topic recently for an app I want developed. Apparently you can code the app in HTML5 using phone gap and you can publish the app for both platforms.

Of course ! Android. There are plenty of handsets working on droid, you just can't go with iOS alone. But , for a business i'd rather say make app for both platform.

I love android because there is cheaper and more value compare with ios.

I love how many of the people saying "off course" Android... have no apps in the app store either in iOS or Android.

want to make money? iOS. Period.

Android platform is relatively better because it is user friendly plus it doesn't require any special operating system for development.

think best android very easy setup apps and always update android version tnx

My two cents, look at your target market first.

What kind of phone/tablet do they use?

Let that be your guide.

I've used both. But i like iOS most. Android is slower it's reminds me Symbian days.

Both powerfulll

IOS for UK/US and Android for the rest.

Users of iOS tend to spend more money on average but Android has a larger user base and it's growing rapidly. So if you're going for a premium experience, it may be a better idea to start off on iOS. But if you're going to be ad supported, Android would probably be the better choice.

Either way, both ecosystems are massive and you can't really go wrong regardless of which one you choose to launch on first.

Lots of techie people like to explore their mobile to the optimum, there is a plenty of opportunity for this in Android mobile

hello,
From my point of view its IOS because it provides better service and cool apllications hence also have more good and cool reviews in market......

My experiece said ANDROID is better than IOS

Go for Android first (it's the numbers game) but then later go for both IOS-Android.

Android is developed by Google while IOS is given by Apple

Android belongs to Linux family while IOS is to OS X ,UNIX OS family

In Android almost anything can be changed while in IOS it is limited.
Android is programmed in C,C++,Java while IOS is in C,C++, Objective-C

Andriod is better than iOS, Android is the product of google and every body relies on the google ad service.

Since they introduced iOS 8 with more advantages for app developers, it is probably a good reason to develope an app for iOS. But they also have big problems with several glitches so not every iOS user would update to iOS 8 now.

It depends what is your primary requirements. I am an owner of mobile app CheerGram which is available in Android right now. Also, planning to Launch the same for iOS. As far as own concerns Android's guidelines to publish app is much more easier than iOS, that takes 2-3 weeks or even more to publish your app live.

i will advice if you are starting newly, go the iOS way because the apple screening process will help you produce a good app which you can then port to android.

I couldn't agree more. Android is better than IOS.
Aside from the reasons above, in terms of availabilty, Android also kicks off more. These are Many phones and tablets, including Kindle Fire(modified android), LG, HTC, Samsung, Sony, Motorola, Nexus, and others more than ios.

Also, look at the following in terms of crashes per apps (acc. to Forbes)

Android is well known for its customization, as it is a open media source it gives users to install a no of application. If I talk about ios then it is known for being quick, clear and secure. So if you need future advancement in your application then Android may be an option for you.

If you want to make money, Then Go with iOS apps, it generates 10x more revenue when compared to Android

I would like to share that users of android are more than IOS apps. So you if you develop application for both OS then its good to provide a choice to your users to use this application in their IOS and Android all devices.

I think iOS is better from android. Because it's give you many facilaties.

Top 10 Lists

I choose android cuz it is an open resource OS !

I love IOS because it's really easy to use, not so complicated like Android i think

I would Suggest to go with Android at least for a start, and then IOS

It's important to note that while Android has greater market penetration, they also have greater hardware/software fragmentation (more difficult to develop for the whole market). Android users also, on the whole, spend far less money than iOS users.
