Agreed, in-app purchases are not the same but there are tons of articles that discuss this.

The thing is... This app is very different then other apps. It's not a mass market app, it is a targeted app for a very specific audience. All these articles and studies are meaningless when talking about a Hero lab app.

I hope they are working to bring Shadowrun and many other games to the iOS platform now that Pathfinder has been out for awhile.

There are roughly ten times as many Android devices as iPads. That's why developers focus on Android.

That's worldwide, including impoverished countries with 95% or higher Android marketshare. In the developed countries where people are more likely to play RPGs, the purchase rate on Android is similar to that on iOS. Also, the fact that Android devices outnumber iOS by more than 5 to 1, allows sellers to make it up in volume.

And the Hero Lab app is FREE! What we're paying for is the content from the different sourcebooks.

I have 3 Android tablets, and I will not buy a Apple tablet! So I patiently wait for LW to develop HL for Android.

well I'm back to developing my App (just pushed an update to google play tonight, amazon will get there's in the next day or so once I get that account sorted again)

there is obviously still a need for an official app, but I will keep pushing towards a better community solution until there is an official one.

I'm recruiting help (especially Android UI devs) for a project in this area.
If anybody's interested, here's a link to my post on the Paizo forums.

@Philderbeast: Today I wanted to try the App, but when I press the SD Card button nothing happened. Whats wrong? Do I Need a Special Android Version?

you shouldn't,

In settings > Applications find the app and make sure it has the storage permission. This is the most likely cause of the issue, if not send me a Pm and I'll work with you to get it sorted out.

Same here. I have 3: The one my brother gave me which was given to developers prior to any Android tabs being released, a Samsung 10.4 Note and now a Nexus 9.

To use it fully functionally you have to dedicate a license to your Ipad.
