I will check it out later. It is a bit annoying that replies are turned off on that thread. I guess we can move the chat here.

I got an email for the forum app but it is asking for a credit card. If it is free why are they asking for my credit card?

Why is the Android version always the second one developed? We're nice people, too.

Resource allocation? The project managers decide on where they think their resources are best spent based on demographics. No doubt you’re nice people, but with limited resources the devs need to prioritize. ?‍?

It is interesting that while Android vs iOS use in the US is fairly close (54% android vs 46% iOS shows up a lot), iOS users spend as much at 7x more on apps and spend more times on their devices. Seems obvious why Apple apps get developed first- gotta fleece the suckers!

I saw the official post about the forum app, but I don't get the benefit? I already get push notifications on my phone via the browser. Doesn't seem like much point in a mobile app that is essentially a wrapper for the mobile site.

I asked that question. Here’s the answer I got:

Because push notifications. And it’s optional to download.

Right, I saw that reasoning in the post. But I already get push notifications to my phone. So, I remain confused as to the point. ?‍

I miss my WP too. Lumia 920 was such an awesome phone.

Swift allows kids to code for IOS. I don't think a drag and drop style IDE exists for Android.
Plus with Android you have to work around the other crap the manuf bloated the phone with. (Lest that's been my experience)
