AMOBILE DEVELOPMENT EXPERTS www.mobiledevelopmentexperts.com MYTHS ABOUT ANDROID & IOS GAMES When it comes to major gaming apps, the line be- tween the two giants, iOS and Android is blurring. Choosing an appropriate platform for gaming appli- cation is well-considered; however there are some myths as well that doesn't have actual substances behind them. Let's look at some myths: PORTING FROM IOS TO ANDROID AS PAID VERSION OR VICE VERSA Many companies that are making money from iOS application are porting their gaming application as a paid version to Android platform to earn more money. They are thinking, if app works excellent at Apple Store, it obviously iO works on Android. TRANSLATING GAME TO MANY POSSIBLE LANGUAGES There are many games shipped with other languages and majority of other players from different coun- tries are playing game that resulted into more revenue. IOS USERS PURCHASING MORE GAMES THAN ANDROID The reasons could be many for purchasing iOS games more than Android games. It could be because iOS users have more money to purchase paid game or may be they put their credit card information into Apple Store. IPAD USER HAVE UNIQUE IDENTITY FROM OTHER USERS To make this myth true, one should have to look at session length of applications. If any paid game is played on iOS device, it would be played for an hour (average). Moreover, iPhone users are playing game more than iPad. So, this myth is wrong as people are thinking that iPad is different in other ways. ANDROID FRAGMENTATION IS A TERRIBLE Android fragmentation is developed in Unity3D and it doesn't have problem. Only 3 devices had trouble from 1970 devices, of which 2 were due to market issues and 1 device had a GPU driver issue. This simply means that myth is busted.
