The iOS version of the app is rock solid; the Android version is way behind in terms of features, and VERY buggy. When an app crash can result in a "real world" actual for-real crash of a $300 flying machine, that's kind of annoying.

I know that one example doesn't mean much, but it's an example of the fact that many companies do prioritise iOS apps over Android.
You should fly that using ROS (Robotic Operating System) on an ordinary computer (use Ubuntu to avoid problems). Then you can do more fun things.
