I do it from time to time, just to keep tabs on how Android is doing. It is doing shit.

Still, you need to use both to see if you like one better so, do it.



I find Android OS (Samsung in particular) to be vastly superior to iOS. I only like iPhone's hardware. But to each their own.


Three physical buttons at the bottom are much better user experience than apple, where the back is somewhere on top of the phone. Maybe that design worked when Jobs was alive and artificially kept them small, but it just makes it feel like those phones were toys for kids.

On a side note, I would also like a physical "forward" button, to jump through some screens faster.

If the app is a native iOS app, or at least built following Apple’s design guidelines, then swiping right will always navigate back in any app. It’s a universal gesture, and this is one way to easily spot apps that weren’t built for iOS.
