Try to write them and suggest the feature. Although they're Korean, they promptly replied to a concern of mine. I love the customizable 2-finger and 3-finger swipe gestures in AVPlayerHD -- something I find crucial in a video app, as opposed to the colour of subtitles. Compare that to the YouTube app, no matter if by Apple or Google, and the YouTube app (and mobile site) is so lame it makes you want to jump out the nearest window.

I just don't get this size thing... if something starts small and gets big thats "innovation" and "great"... if something starts big and gets small, that's also "innovation" and "great." Have we lost all sense of common sense? I do understand that one might prefer one size over the other... why do we attempt to always proclaim one as the "winner?" Both can be "winners."
As for me, I'll stick with my "big" and "heavy" iPad.... seems just about right.... (Actually, I still prefer my "antique" laptop!) |

Try OPlayerHD, I find it to be an excellent video player, either locally or streaming, and it allows selection of both text and border colours for subtitles.

Wow... Could not disagree more. I can't wait for a retina iPad mini so I can ditch my Nexus 7. Ah, we'll... Glad we have choices!

i dont care about games, i suppose it s better on ios...just tell me which apps you are missing on your nexus 7 and they are at the same time existed on ios? and what are you doing when some files wont work in some program in ios? go to your computer, and transfering it again into another app, right...and for some people ios is easier to work with? it's even hard to call ios smart operating system..at the end of the day ios is simply an application launcher, which is not so smart i think...

I actually bought my Nexus 7 because I kept hearing that the selection of ebook reading apps with auto-scroll was so much better for Android. Once I got it, I found the only reader app that measured up (for my needs) to what I was already using on iOS was Moon + Reader Pro, which cost the same as the app I was using on iOS (Tomes) and is about equal in features. Once Marvin App for iPad gets auto-scroll it will blow both of them away and I'll be back to reading full-time on my iPad. Everything else I use my iPad for is worse on the Nexus 7... reading is only marginally better, and that is primarily because it's a smaller, lighter device. Quote:
But like I said... at least we have choices. Getting an Android device has made me appreciate iOS a lot more than I previously did. That said, iTunes still sucks and should be banished from the planet. Fortunately, you can pretty much get by without interacting with it much anymore. |

I subscribe to every word Sue said. iOS, despite its many flaws and quirks, is -- in my experience -- clearly superior over Android in the grand scheme of things. Particularly in terms of reliability and usability. Just like Sue said, I don't ever use the iPad/iPhone in conjunction with my computer, because this is never needed in practice, and I stopped using the atrocious iTunes back in 2011 when iCloud was launched. Most objections against iOS I hear are typically a combination of prejudice and ignorance on the part of those who are familiar with iOS only on the most superficial level (if they have ever used it at all).

I'm not sure what you say is true, ApK, and anyway we're severely off-topic here. All I can say is, I never use the default Music or Video apps on iOS, because they are clearly inferior compared to better apps serving identical purposes. And that's what I meant by "lack of familiarity" with iOS: default apps and ways of doing things are often lame or ineffective, but that doesn't mean you can't install better apps and do things more effectively in iOS.
