Sort of "Off Topic".
Lots of posters on MavicPilots have been frustrated by their inability to update their Android version of DJI GO 4.
I have the understanding, and am willing to be corrected, that, if someone wants to offer an app for an Apple product, they must distribute it via the App-Store and are prohibited from offering any other system versions for "x" amount of time. This would be why the new apps and updates are available for Apple products several days or weeks before Android.
I have experienced this with other apps, not just those from DJI.
Very frustrating and, IMHO, borders on restraint of trade.
Any confirmation or correction welcome.
