I owned an Iphone for 4 years and recently switched to an Android phone. I've never been happier. Only then did I realize companies like Bungie cater only to iPhone users. This may have made sense if iPhone users were in the majority, but they are not. Bungie still has not announced a date for releasing an App for other than iPhone users. Why wouldn't they do this from the start? Can someone explain this to me?

You're a bit behind in information. Bungie is in the process of making an Android app. It takes time to build apps when you are also making video games.

Don't read to much into the iPhone getting it first. Maybe it was just easier for them at the time.

Video games that need to be near perfect due to all the hype preceding them, I might add.

They're hard at work in the basement making the Android app, give them time.

Also, most sites still don't have an app at all. Let alone one with so many features and functions.

Exactly. Just another reason for them to work slowly on the extras and hard on the game itself.

Final post in here but, in my honest opinion, I'd be okay if they had a dude working on it who came in for half an hour on weekends to work on the app while he's on his way to pick-up his grandma from her Pilates class while he simultaneously is attending a class on how to make Android Apps at the Y on Wednesday nights as long as we get Destiny by Holiday 2013 omg what a bigass run on sentence this trainwreck as turned into.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

tbh, I struggle to get excited about Destiny. It will come when it comes, and until then I'm going to rather sombre.

Just be happy they have an app period... I guess they can drop all their games and make apps :-)

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

Have you been offline for awhile? It's their next project.

The alleged and practically confirmed name of their next game.

I was a finalist :P

Achronos stated they are in the process of creating one for the Android. It has not been implemented as of yet due to the fact that the bungie.net website is getting an update of somekind.
