Why Andriod is better than the other smartphone platforms

Cost to write an app and install it on the device you already bought:



If I'm trying to sell the app in your app store, then fine, make me pay the $99/year. But if all I want to do is write a silly little app and put it on my own phone to try development, or calculate my biorhythms, or lottery numbers, or whatever, then don't shaft me $99 for the privilege.

  • That frustration is totally understandable. Paying $99 a year makes sense if you’re selling apps in the store and making money from them—but it feels excessive when you just want to experiment, learn, or run a simple personal app on your own device. Barriers like this can discourage creativity and learning, especially for beginners. Access to tools should empower curiosity, not tax it—just like a thermal imager for android gives users powerful capabilities without unnecessary hurdles.
