Jeez, lucky for you all you Apple users. When does the Android version drop?
Too bad there isn't a web version. Anyone know if there will be?
Update: Nevermind. I see Mark Dice has the details here.
This alone makes me consider never wasting my time on that truth social place since I don't use Apple products, never have and never will. I don't like Android either, I prefer doing most things on PC but Apple products typically don't allow as much freedom as Android or PC. I know people that swear that Apple is far superior over Android and maybe it is but I rarely use my phone or tablet anyways and some apps I use I've read won't even install on iphones.
It's just my opinion but this is a bad move, releasing an app available only to one device/platform. More than twice as many people use Android over Iphone, just a simple statistic that can easily be verified online so this decision to push out the app on just iphone for a month is not good for business. I will say maybe they're using iphone only for the 1st month before allowing the bulk of web traffic from Android and PC.
I don't use twitter, gab, or any of that garbage so it won't bother me if I never made an account on Truth Social. People are likely in for some disappointment though over something overly hyped. I hope I'm wrong but we'll see.
Hmm maybe they're counting on it being cancelled on apple and that will create a lot of buzz for the platform being offered elsewhere?
My guess is to limit web traffic until it's stable but if that were the case then I'd just say if they can't launch something 100% then why waste time halfway doing something. If Apple tried to censor it, at least apps can on Android can be installed without the Play store app. If it were simply normal and had everything available on the website from the start then apps wouldn't matter.
I still prefer using things through web browsers instead of apps even on my phone. If there's not an actual need or actual big benefit from an app version of something compared to the website version then I always stick to the website version but I also only use my phone or tablet when I'm away from home and even then I rarely use them.
I'm not obsessed with phones so when I'm out and about going places, I do have my phone in my pocket but rarely ever take it out unless I want to take pictures of something or to use it for Amazon music in my car. I prefer Amazon music for my music listening because it's convenient and allows me to listen to everything without having to waste my money supporting artists with old songs I like but don't deserve money.
Apple is more popular than Android esp. with normies, so that theory doesn't hold up.
