Y R Android treated so different to IPhone users

[jacs62]

Yet again android users r treated different Not only do we not get goals and therefore get goal rewards Now it seems that nbrs wont know we have sent requested parts because we dont showup in the newsfeed This sucks big time Surely this can b fixed ???

[shanamerny3]

I was just writing about this. I believe all users should be able to access the same things!

[patriciabudville]

Android doesnt get goals, but all the rewards are available to them, no?

And how are you enjoying your candy robot on BS... --.

[bigbux3]

I believe TeamLava hasn't figured out a way to make all features compatible to both parties. If you ask me, iOS (I'm iOS as well) shouldn't be released content until TeamLava knows it's compatible to everyone. It's just not fair and they know it.

[OriginalBlond]

No, reward items are NOT available to Andriod users. I know this because I play on Andriod. As far as the candy robots... does it really bother you that bad that finally TL & Google do ONE thing for Andriod users?? Think about it, IOS users get the WHOLE kit-n-kaboodle. Just because Andriod users get one little s**** of what IOS users get, theres no reason to get your feathers all ruffed up. I know TL is "supposed" to be working on a way for Andriod users to get goals, so until then, I will continue to drool over the goal rewards I hear about that IOS gets.

It's true...I recently transferred from android to iOS and the differences are big. Not only am I having sooooo many less technical issues, but I get so many more things. Yes the goals are sometimes annoying, but I don't mind baking 56 pies in order to get gems. Androids don't have an option to get gems at all.

you guys are too funny....i dont think bickering will solve anything.....i started on android...played for a while and then it just wasnt enough....I wanted to race with the big guys...so i had to buy a sports car...if its such an issue why not just upgrade your device

IA bickering won't solve anything but people should be able to get the same product on all devices. Also android devices aren't subpar just different. Expecting ppl to update their device just to play these games is a biiiig ask.

[thatgirl444]

unfortunately getting the same product on all devices isnt a realistic expectation....look at apple and pc...years ago i upgraded from pc and realized i lost some of my favorite programs just because they were not available on apple computers....it works that way with many things....yes...i agree android isnt any lesser device than ios...its just different and unfortunately these games are a bit more sophisticated on ois and its just something that has to be accepted for now. If it changed in the future, great....If it doesnt then there is nothing anyone can do....when i played on my ereader, tons of games were not even available for download....i felt lucky that I was even able to play this game. I didnt just upgrade my device for the games....ois is way better and faster for many other things

[starstar2]

Android and IOS platform definitely is not equal.
Just like iPhone and Samsung having different phone features.

So is definitely not easy to make games identical on 2 different platforms.
True enough, if want better features, get iPhone instead.

Those are good points. I went from android to ios. Researched iPad vs the galaxy tablet until I thought my head would explode, as I thought the iPad was just too limited (and it is in some ways but the user friendly nature mostly makes up for it. Mostly.) yet saw the ownides if the galaxy as well.

I don't see how they couldn't at least give android devices goals though, it just seems ridiculous to me? It's not like androids are zack Morris phones surely they have the capacity for many of the things the iOS versions have.

Ok, even if it's , let's just say "impossible" to make them identical....Like of instance with goals....then why not at least try to make it even in other ways? like with the bs classic bread oven....why not at least mke it purchasable for droid players????? This could be done easily yet isn't. From what I have seen the clear priority is ios.

At the end of the day it is just a game, but when I was on droid I sure was bummed that I was missing out.

[thatgirl444]

who knows why they do what they do....maybe throught research they (team lava) realized thay their biggest money makers are IOS users and they prefer to invest their money and time into those platforms. When on android, my device was so slow especially with all the bots making it almost impossible to play I never even considered purchasing gems to make my bakery nicer as I didnt even know how long I could stand to play it....When i transfered and realized that there were no more forseclosures, no lagging, I fell in love with the games all over again...I have already made few purchases....that could be true of many other players as well. And I know for a fact that it was my device, not the game that was slow. Too slow to support the entire potential of the game. Maybe its just not worth for team lava to go beyond and above to create all that is missing for android users. Just a thought....I really have no real idea.

[Hespeth]

I play on the kindle fire and didn't even get the candy theme items that android users got. We don't get anything :(

Maybe that's the whole point. Maybe lava is being paid by the fruit company to cater too fruit company customers. It's a conspiracy. Fight the fruit vendor! Stick with android.

[thatgirl444]

LOL...good point...but once you've had their fruit its hard to go back...lol...nice job fruit vendor and team lava!

[thatgirl444]

no wonder it's the forbidden fruit....temptations temptations....is team lava the snake?.(in the nicest way possible, hope I dont get banned for this..lol)

New features are released to iOS first and then maybe later ported to Android. In the past it took 3-6 months. Goals were released to iOS in early Dec, and they were ported to Android and available on Pet Shop Story and a couple of the new games. Assuming the same goal system, there is no reason why they can't make goals available on the older Android games. It doesn't appear to be a priority to upgrade their old games; their emphasis is on making new games.

On the positive side, there were some new features released to iOS that I am happy were not ported to Android. We have less ads and gem traps.

[shalla666]

Maybe Android users will get the same features as Apple in the future since Droid sales are consistently outpacing IOS ... then again, since Apple won the lawsuit against Samsung we might not have new Droid phones for awhile. Still, trying to release software on 3 or 4 different platforms is tricky enough, but developing for all the different versions of Droid is next to impossible. Each phone has a different operating system (OS), with different features. I cut my teeth on computers in the programming field and am grateful that I got out ... Java may be considered the great equalizer, but in reality it still has to depend on the OS developers including some core components *sigh*

BTW: I do have a Droid and refuse to go to Apple ... just me. Also, I can't take any new ngbs ... I try to tip and gift everyday, and adding a full-time job with an 8 yr old and an 81 yr old means only 50 ngbs for me.

Androids ARE different! They are a pain! TL is not the only one who have 'issues' getting things to operate on Androids! Thank you google... :/

Same here! I would never buy apple products my hubby would divorce me.

[jlcook850]

We android users just got goals in bakery story so hopefully coming soon to restaurant and farm

It was Samsung who held up the updates for my phone until my carrier paid the ransom demands. By then the phones were updated and no we did not get another update to the latest Android version. This is an advantage of Apple - consistency among developers.

It would be nice to have TL add features, but there are about 5 versions of Android to work with. This is a FREE game.... you deal with pain for free.
