Dunno if its because my handwriting sucks or not (though they look totally legible to me, if not a little scruffy) but it hates my 4s and 5s to no end. Particularly the 5s. It didn't like my 4s either, then I let my dad try it, and it didn't like probably 15/20 of his 5s | ||

I would have paid a dollar in a heartbeat =( Market share isn't really a metric to base app development on. Instead there are a few key factors at play: 1. Creating an app on Android with the same quality and design costs more money. 2. Each download on Google Play earns less than the respective download on the App Store. 3. There are less overall downloads on Google Play. Finally, as this is an education app, we have to look heavily at the tablet market and there is only one tablet, the iPad. | ||

 Edit: other comments made sense, thanks! But still just a note that me (and certainly about a million other people) would probably buy this on Android! | ||

Sadly the Nexus 7, whilst a good device, is an abomination to develop for due to the weird pixel density of the screen. | ||

Out of curiosity why is hard to develop for the screen? I thought you developed for a resolution rather than a pixel density? Are you talking about the aspect ratio? | ||

I thought you developed for a resolution rather than a pixel density? Are you talking about the aspect ratio? All designers start out designing at 72 ppi so they can cover all screens. Once the design is complete, you need to scale it appropriately for each device. As an example, going from the base design to a retina display on the iPhone 5 means you double the number of pixels, which is great because all edges, etc. line up. It's simple. For the Galaxy S2, you need to multiply by 1.5x, which is ok, but it means every 3rd pixel needs attention because it may be in the wrong place. The Kindle Fire is a bit harder again, it goes to 1.66x, so again other pixels need attention. The Nexus 7 bizarrely uses ~1.27x, which is an old format from Cathode Ray TVs. It basically means that you need to pay attention to the location of every pixel otherwise lines end up a blurry mess. It is the only device on the market with this strange format. | ||

Yeah I write the 5s in two strokes, the first stroke being the vertical line and the curve, the second stroke the horizontal line from left to right. The 9s I do write with a curved lower portion. I start drawing in the top right, then draw a circle counter-clockwise and as I get to the top right again I draw the bottom with a curve after the vertical line, all in one stroke. | ||
