Agawi basically says Android phones aren't as fast as iPhones


Awagi TouchMarks has claimed that Android phone are twice as slower as iPhones. Even the latest and greatest S4 still has a slower minimum app response time as the iPhone 4S, which came out almost 3 years ago.

Some might argue that this test is irrelevant but I dissagree. Having used an iPad for a year and going to the Nexus 7 tablet, the difference is night and day. This could be why users coming from iOS devices claim the typing on iOS is Much more snappier than Android.  

This is a big deal for musicians who plan on making musical on tablets or even small projects on phones. Or artist who like to make a quick sketch on a tablet. Even those who do a lot of typing on their devices, you might want to consider an iOS device if you need something more responsive.





Attention Developers: Glossy apps look ugly in iOS 7



This is just a PSA to developers on iOS and Android. Glossy apps are outdated, please follow the trend and start making your app icons FLAT. 

I refuse to have an app like this on my home screen while having the rest looking professional. 

Please developers, fix your icons.

Thank you.

iFruit app for Android - iOS exclusive?

On the 16th of September, the iFruit app for iOS was released. Soon later, Android owner started questioning Rockstar Games, "What about Android?"

To this day, Android users still are not able to use the Mobile companion app to access in-game features such as training your dog "Chop", or choosing custom license plates for your cars.

A few automated responses from Rockstar claiming the app is coming "soon" are what the disappointed fans received as answers. Many users on Rockstar's own comments claim they won't be playing GTA 5 or be purchasing anymore Rockstar published games.

Some users came up with a theory that Apple itself is stoping Rockstar from releasing the Android app due to the name itself. Although Rockstar has stated this is NOT the case, most still believe it is.

Unfortunately, there is no release date yet. I'm sure Rockstar will get this sorted out after they get the GTA:Online debacle fixed.
