This is a common refrain heard from many of the Apple faithful, but it ends up often they have either no first-hand experience with this and are just repeating things read ... or their experience is with an earlier dated device with an older version of Android on it. Since the days of Froyo and Gingerbread, Android and its apps have grown up very quickly and the user experience has improved dramatically in just a short time. I don't think the quality for
major apps between the two platforms is all that different today.
Can you even name a current app that displays a marked difference in quality between the two platforms?
In addition, for many, the look of the system GUI is just as important as the look of the apps, and that is where I think Android has a huge advantage over iOS, especially since i0S7. Apple's claim for providing a superior visual experience also takes a big hit considering they allowed screens with markedly inferior color gamut to be put on their two premium-priced Mini tabs.
