You’d think enough screwy decisions would eventually turn me off of their products, right? Well, the reason why even that wouldn’t do it is because I get to play with the “other guy’s” stuff in my work life where I do QA of websites and use Android tablets and phones in my testing. And during that time, I get to personally experience what utter pieces of shit Android devices and apps are. Their missteps are far greater in my experience. 

I go crazy over missing features or lack of attention to detail I. one versus the other. And I know it’s not gonna change because I see these issues reported in both official and unofficial channels and they are never fixed. And if they haven’t been fixed by now, they just never will be.

And then there are devices that aren’t quite Android but close enough like my Amazon Fire tablet. I love reading on it in the Kindle and ComiXology apps. Those are fine. But they use a proprietary app called Silk as a web browser that is utter trash. Trying to open the IMDb app to look up stuff opens Silk to an error page half the time. And the Goodreads app won’t give you reading status on the My Books view unless you go into each book and it shows all my Currently Reading books as Read and won’t let me update my progress (works fine on my iPhone).

Why don’t people care? It kills me.

So, until the world ends, make mine Apple.
