The problem with iMobsters app

imobsters
So I decided to start playing the iMobsters game on my Droid phone. I am quickly noticing a problem. Somehow people are able to attack me even when I can get the app to navigate. I had enough money to upgrade my protection gear, but since I have been trying to get to the place on the app to purchase it for the past several hours I have been attacked enough so that I no longer can purchase this protection upgrade. My question is, why can others navigate around to attack me when I can’t navigate around to do a damn thing on the game?
I have a theory. I am willing to bet that those people that are attacking me have iPhones. The iPhone app is probably better designed. The Android app obviously has bugs. There are way more Android phones than iPhones. The reason for this is that Android is an operating system that goes across several phones and several providers. Iphone is just one specific phone on one provider (AT&T). Despite Android having a much wider customer base, it is still treated as the redheaded step child by developers.
Imobsters obviously doesn’t care as much about their Android users as they do for their precious iPhone users. What is the problem here Storm8? Why so buggy? Does a bigger customer base not motivate you to get your shit in gear? I will give your app a little longer, but I am growing very tired of being attacked and not being able to do anything about it because my app crashes after just one button push.
Plain and simple, you owe your Android users a major apology. Stop treating us like crap or another game developer will steal us away and you will be hard pressed to win us back. Android is the new king. Get with the program or be left behind.
