These are my views as a user and developer.
User:
Advantages
- Android has multiple features as compared to other operating systems
- Android has way more apps than their competition
- Android security is okay. Compared to other OS that have been making headlines (I won’t mention names)
- Many phone making companies use Android.
Disadvantages
- Android is rarely used in first world countries. People with plenty of money will most likely use ios
- Most apps on Android haven’t been updated in the last five years. Yes! Believe me
- Most apps on Android markets are low quality and yet many in qauntity.
Developer
Advantages
- It’s very easy to get a developer account and cheap at the same time
- Information on making an Android app is easily accessible
- Google Play Store team are very helpful, reliable and easily accessible.
Disadvantages
- Google are attimes known of being very cruel to developers especially when violations to policies occur.
- There are already millions of apps in Android stores (Google Playstore)
- When you create a unique app, two weeks later there will be 10 apps that will have similar features and names just as a way of stealing your traffic. (It’s a jungle out there 🙂 )
