Is playing on an android better than playing on an IOS?
Sort:
So, I think that playing chess on an android is basically better than playing on an iOS especially if you don't know in which place you should put the chess pieces. What are your thoughts on this?
I am not too familiar with how the interface looks on Android; could you post a screenshot?
Um how?
If you have a PC, then take the screenshot and send it to your PC, then login to chess.com as the user interface allows for posting of images, for some reason it does not seem that the mobile app allows for this. Not sure if the mobile web client also allows for this as I did not check.
As a mobile engineer I can tell you that iOS is superior to Android is just about every way.
Playing on the iPhone is pretty slick. But for some reason Chess.com doesn't operate the same on the iPad - it's slow and clunky. The operating system for the tablet doesn't seem to align too well with Chess.com's app, as many of the site's basic features are missing, as well.
I'd rather play on my old Android phone than on a modern iPad. But I'd rather play on the iPhone than on Android mobile ...
So, for me: iPhone > Android mobile > iPad
Yes, android is cheaper and more powerful

Here is page on android btw
Android and iOS devices both offer excellent gaming experiences; however, the greater number of hardware and customization options available on Android devices may have an impact on performance. The vast majority of devices run iOS more smoothly because it is generally more optimized. Which platform feels better for you ultimately depends on game availability and preferences.

I noticed most android phone are more powerful and their battery also last longer than IOS can do (trust I compared the latest Samsung that I forgot the name of and a iPhone 15 pro max then I opened multiple apps at the same time and Samsung was able to open them faster) androids are also more solid because someone made the test of dropping them down stairs
While an iPhone is kind of well defined, an Android device is not. There are very cheap Android smartphones (sub 100€ with no contract attached) as well as (non-luxury) models from 1000€-1500€, so you can imagine the hardware as well as the degree of the OS optimized to that hardware varies wildly (eg on google pixel phones it is extremely optimized).
A blanket comparison as such isn't really possible, as responsiveness and battery consumption all depend strongly on the factors mentioned.
My personal preference is Android because it's the more open platform of the two, regarding hardware as well as software.
Multiple premoving is not available for IOS App, so its almost impossible to play bullet. Do something with it, please.. Showing legal moves is also only on Android app..
Thanks
