Thinking of trying a new device as a dedicated controller device but it’s just going to be a cheap Android device. Does anyone here use the android version of the app? Does it work ok?
Does the android version of Fly have all of the same functions as the regular version?

What exactly is the "regular" version? Fly on Android is a regular version.

There's no "actual" iOS and "other" version. They are both the DJI Fly app. One is for Android and the other is for iOS.

I have both devices but I don't edit on them. Just curious as to what the differences are in the editing?
some Of us would disagree with such a crass comment ... some platforms are better than others at different things ... try having a balanced , as opposed to blinkered , view ... sigh...

There is... The app is native to IOS and ported to Android, and I’ve heard from many accounts that it’s not great.
Just curious, where did you 'hear' that factoid?
Pick your Android device, then before buying check compatibility list on the DJI website and here. Not all devices or version of Android OS are the same since it is open source.

You can check if your Android phone can run Dji Fly by simply going to the Play store and seeing if it will download and install. If it does, you're golden. If it doesn't, you'll need a different device.
I fly android on my smart controller and iOS on my iPad mini.
Both work well. But the reason I have a regular controller with the iPad mini is because there are certain apps that I am required to use that don’t support android.
I attempted to convince the companies to support android and their claim was that android users don’t want to pay for apps..
I tried to explain that yeah they won’t pay for a flashlight app but if it was a really great flight app considering how much they have invested in their drone they would.
I guess I lost.
Nonetheless that is one consideration to take into account.

iOS doesn't allow charging of the phone while plugged into the controller which for some is a positive as I’ve seen many trying to disable functio.

Really? Where did that information come from? If that's the case then why would the Smart Controller be Android based? Please substantiate your claims before posting them here.
As opposed to what,.. DJI making a device that ran IOS? Think about what you’re saying before posting here...
