For jerks only: always thanks before joking

 

Too bad they forgot that other platforms exist beside iOS...

 

The most profit market still is USA, that use a lot ios.
The other problem is technical: android is slower and only some models have the power to play synths realtime, and its not unified like ios products.

 

even with larger market share... it's a big laugh, really. but on the other hand, android with it's 78% market share has really crappy multimedia support.

 

Android has a far inferior audio subsystem. Google basically started it as a mobile desktop environment for the Linux kernel and didn't put great store on audio or Midi support (and still doesn't). Apple on the other hand already had a lot of knowledge and things like Core Audio.
That's why the more professional apps are iOS only.

 

Sadly right...
I don't see any move from Google on this point. And audio needing to be low level, no third party will make miracles.

 

A zero-day article about Android's Audio Latency:

And btw., speaking of miracles, CRI (a Japanese middleware provider) announced some new things for Android just this week (Japanese news only atm.), like a delay prediction. And these guys already made magic in the past.
