Any simple reason why it's delayed for Android? Do the devs prefer the ios development environment? Do they have more iphones to test on? Are iphone users prioritized because they have a higher median income?

They always release for a subset of the users by making it available at only one platform. Other languages were only available at the web interface first

In my experience iOS users are much more likely to pay for your app. Android apps seem to do better when they're ad supported.

This is anecdotal, so YMMV.
