It is annoying to say the least.

But as has been pointed out on DS, making an app for iOS and Android are different.

With iOS you have basically all the same screen resolutions, same OS versions, same hardware specs, etc. With Android you have to deal with a crappy Samsung that freezes when try to make a phone call and others which are basically smaller netbooks.

However, if they'd got anyone of worth it should still have been easy to make an app for Android; its hardly an intensive app now is it?

As for Windows Phone, it works similar to Apple, in that all phones are basically equal, unless you're making a data intensive game; something a BB app is no where near.

Also, with Microsoft paying for Surface's to get exposure, its somewhat surprising a Windows 8/Windows Phone app wasn't made; considering about 90% of the code between a WP app and Windows 8 app is the same.

As for users; iOS is just under 20%, Android under 70% and Windows Phone a little over 10%, with Blackberry and others making up the rest (of which there is little). And that doesn't count the approx. 13% of PC users running Windows 8.

Overall, Big Brother have only about 20% of the market, many of which probably aren't even on iOS 7 devices.

The question is, does it come down to laziness, cheapness? Or is it the fact that their much loved "TOWIE" viewers are more likely to have Apple devices, and they know they'll vote in line with their wishes?

And now to plug my Windows Phone Big Brother app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/st...1-234006fad7a8
