General Hardware/Software Problems: iOS vs Android

[greensmith]

There seem to be a lot of hardware/software issues recently: Airport City reset to beginning ... Airport City won't open ... and so on.
I'm curious as to whether or not hardware plays a role in these issues. If you've had a hardware/software issue with your device and Airport City, what operating system and specific device are you using?
Cheers,
Tom

Apple prides itself on its closed system; they say it reduces or even eliminates hardware/software issues. This can cause unhappiness with the length of time it takes them to approve software updates -- witness the frustration of many Apple users with the recent update.
Android is an open system; they seem to approve updates very quickly. Does this translate to more hardware/software problems or not?
Cheers,

I had some issues with my Android phone as even after setting my clock to auto-update my time is set to 1january 2011. Therefore i had danger of time travelling.

So far, I have had no problems playing AC on Android hardware.
The problem had always been on Game Insight's programing part (unfortunately).

Bali Hi: 1.5 year old Nexus 7, Android Jellybean / Kit Kat. Very smooth.
Bali2 : 3 year old Samsung Tab 8.9, Android Honeycomb. Slower to load and a bit laggy, but everything looks bigger and better.
Bali131: 3 year old Google Nexus, Android ICS, Jellybean. Game is too small on a 4" screen. Not playing it much.

I have also been playing on an iPad 8" mini recently, the experience is more or less the same as on my Nexus 7. However, I am very annoyed that there is no exit button in iPad.

Any change to the system time setting will trigger the time travel bomb GI planted.

You should try to upgrade your Nexus 7 to Lollipop 5.1 .
It's better for battery life.

Are you implying that you have another newer phone which you are not using to play Airport City ??
