@tevek , I can't argue with anything you said. I cripple myself because of my dislike for Apple products and the behavior of the company. For a dedicated application like this, none of that matters one whit.
It's a purely emotional thing. I don't like Apple. I find iOS annoyingly childish in its approach to UI. But I also recognize this is more me than anything else -- I'm an engineer by training, have developed for both platforms, much prefer what I can do with Android so I just don't want to have anything to do with iOS devices.
"Better" is not a simple issue. iPads are clearly a better platform for DJI GO [4] and other DJI applications. Android can be cleaned up to work well with Litchi, and before the most recent releases DJI GO [4] as well. However, this requires rooting, removing bloatware, and then tuning the operating environment a little to optimize for the DJI apps. Not something most people know how, nor want, to do.
