I love android and all it stands for, but I have noticed that the apps tend to be uglier than their iPhone counterparts. Take FourSquare for example, the iPhone application is really gorgeous while the Android version is much more bland.
Are these simply design choices by developers, or is there something inherent in the OS that prevents visual improvements?
I think its partly due to the "openness" some are so happy about. Add that to no application review / approval process your left with apps that have no similar look or feel. As well as some that just don't work and / or do not look appealing.
I think apple has standards that everyone MUST follow giving their apps a similar look and feel. Wish Android could have that and still be "open."
