>Android users are cheap as fuck and rarely pay for apps

Because I don't develop software for money?

because I don't own a MacBook

You consider this a bragging point?

Buy one, it's an investment. Besides, studies show that it takes less time to code for iOS compared to android

There is, if you make something useful. You can't expect them to buy every $0.50 fart app you shit out.

Not getting your app banned so that apple can steal it and market it as their own and not have to pay you anything.

>>52448023
>open market vs closed one
>Why doe people in open market pay less

you tell me.

i don't use apps that require payment unless i have to

>>52448233
That sounds like extortion!

>>52448023
>$/per user

Clickbait.

You would have a valid argument if you compared iPhones to other flagship phones. Lumping in $20 burner phones with all other androids and pretending they ever intended to open the Play Store at all just makes you an iDiot.

Firefox, Tor, and mediaplayer are free.
And that's everything a mobile device can be used for anyway.

>>52448023
>Is there even a point in developing for Android?
Is there a reason not to? If you have a successful app on ios why not port it to Android and squeeze out every little bit of dosh you can get?

Of course, the other way to read this is "Apple users are so gullible, they'll buy ANYTHING!"

I'm asking as a programmer. I don't own an iphone, but I still see no point in developing for Android.

>>52448023
I would like to know how many people actually use the apps they purchase in the App Store.

AFAIK the only apps people use around me that have iPhones are social networking apps and other free apps.

>>52448561
As a programmer I see developing for Android as freedom, or at least greater freedom.
Apple are far more restrictive, not only of what can enter their store but also what is allowed to be distributed outside their store.
And that's bullshit.

>>52448561
Apple has higher quality control. It is harder to get your app on IOS than Android

>>52448023
Implying apple idiots don't just constantly buy the newest stupid shit.

>>52448561

well, apple will take 30% of your revenue

android will only take 5%

but your application will vary wildly between platforms

>>52448023
thats because all of the good apps cost fuck tons of money on ios
while on android there are TONS of great apps out there for free without ads

>>52448023
>Android users are cheap as fuck and rarely pay for apps

I can confirm, I just used freedom on everything or got apk's from elsewhere.

I even bought one app. Nakedbrowser. And i paid money for threema. Although both through Google but directly via PayPal to on their website.

>use android
>never pay for anything

>buy a blackberry
>have 5 paid applications

lmao, i guess android makes you poor.

>>52448594
Absolutely this. you can spend a really long time developing an app for iOS only to have the App Store reject it because they think it's too similar to another app already there. And there's really not shit you can do about it

No, in fact please stop because there's too much shitware already.

>>52449334

Good luck getting any eyeballs in google app store unless you pay jewgle or designate some street shitters to bot it up to the top.

Also, don't bother with a tablet version since Android Tablet is pretty much kill at this point

>Is there even a point in developing for Android?

I'll probably make FOSS for Android once I've made enough money.
Seems fun.

I want to put apps on my iPhone that aren't from the app store
>you can't unless you jailbreak and void warranty and every update breaks your phone
I want to put apps on my android phone that aren't from the app store
>tick a box

>>52448561
You develop for the joy of it. Making an app that fills a need you have when no current app does it right.

Fuck people expecting to be paid for everything they do.
