It is the common perception that app design is app design; it does not matter whether it is made by iOS or Android. But Hipmunk UI/UX designer and iOS developer Danilo Campos said that it is easy to develop an elegant and attractive iOS app as compared with Android app. This statement is made by iOS developer so definitely he will say everything in favor iOS. It is known to everybody that Android is used by many mobile companies like Sony Ericson, HTC and Samsung etc. but iOS is only in Apple so it is quite easy to manage one thing rather than handling and dealing with thousand of models. Different models have different dimensions and resolutions, these factors will definitely make development slower. It is seen that when you install different app than your mobile gets slow.
This thing never happens with iOS or iPhone. Secondly these apps takes so much time in uploading ad than in getting started that many people get bored and they lose the charm in operating that app. Developer tools and documentation is also quite slow in Android. Apple is getting perfect day by day as it is working on the same base since twenty years while Google is getting started from scratch with Android. For competing with Apple, Google has to work too hard. On highlighting more defects of Android, experts say that your stuff in your set does not feel documented. This is really annoying for any user. Detailed features of anything are more easily implemented in iOS because of the wide variety of APIs and libraries available. It is also said that it is a tough task for Android to develop such touch and round glass design that Apple is having. Android is in many mobile companies phones and all are making different designs i.e. some are sliding, some are flip etc. so it is difficult to manage screen resolution in all and this thing affects the app working in return. Google is trying hard to deal with the market pressure. The new Android 4.0 is one of the Android devices. Even according to few people it is better than iPhone. But again this Ice Cream Sandwich is only present in 3% of the Android devices. Android training classes are now offered by Android. Design guidelines are also made for developers. iOS also have some drawbacks. Everything is not rosy in iOS. The best part of Android is that it gives you more liberty to do things that you want to see and have in your mobile. Apple has limitations. It gives you access to few app unlike Android. Secondly you can’t upgrade you iPhone applications as new features and app are in the new iPhone models only. My view is that if you want to have a good looking app with a single pass than you should go for iOS. But if you want to manage things according to your taste, than you should go for Android.
