Android's Ecosystem Is Better Than Ever, But It Still Sucks
I made a bold move from iPhone to Android, and I completely regret it - Business Insider
Apps are an utter disaster. Nearly every iOS version of an app looks slicker and operates better than its Android counterpart. Good luck finding a good Twitter app because the official one is a pain, and all the other
