Android has the greatest mobile OS market share by a massive margin.

But Apple users are far more likely to spend money on apps, making Apple the most lucrative target for mobile developers to target first.

Not in the US, which is really the only place this app is applicable at the moment.

Android has the greatest mobile OS market share by a massive margin.

It’s my understanding this is true globally, but not for the US, where Apple has ~60% share.

(This app should absolutely be cross-platform though)
