So, you don't seem to be aware that Apple's underlying OS is UNIX, about as open as you can get, and you have never bothered to learn a thing about it since you made your determination "years ago" that Apple Sux, and you listen to your echo chamber of PC and Android friends who do exactly the same thing. Right. That gets you no where.
90% of Apple users know far more about both platforms and have made the conscious decision to use Apple products for good and educated reasons, not the ignorant ones you just spouted based on your limited exposure to just PCs and Android.
I feel the way I do for the Apple corporate personality and practice. It is the overpriced fad driven hype mentality that I object to.
As far as the app compatibility problems. I have one of our local weather station apps on my droid and it works fine. On my wife's iPhone6 the app cannot pinpoint her location on the radar map.
I looked into it and found it is a common problem with iPhones because the iPhone uses three or four different methods of tracking and constantly attempts to balance between them. With constant conflicts between tower triangulation, GPS, and local WiFi, from one look to the next she is all over the map across twenty miles. What is your solution Apple gurus? Buy a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge?
You may say the app designer didn't know how to manage the functions of the Apple but it still didn't work for her and we cannot make the TV station redesign its app.
