Thinking of getting a tablet for kids' gaming.

Which OS has better games and gaming experience?

Heard it's apple with their apple-exclusive games that was made for and works best in IOs. True?

Or is android having the same games as apple now?

Please recommend, thanks.

android still has a long way to go...

if you want gaming stick to IOS, android is too fragmented

this coming from an android user

Any example games that are popular/ exclusive to either OS and not available to the other?

apple. i am android user, appl has long more interesting game to play, not talking about picture quality, but fun of playing
android basically mimic games from apple

most of the games for young kids (below 12)... both are about the same. i mean... if you're talking about simple platform games, or the candy crush thing... they are popular enough to be on both ios (apple) and android.

getting the hardware... Nexus 7... quite a decent tablet. easily can get at about rm700. you can play most games anyway. read ebooks too...

if you're talking about RPG or hack and slash... some are exclusive to only one platform like Infinity Blade (for IOS only) and Ingress (Android only).

games generally get released first on ios (still generally bigger user base and since the models are limited, easier to develop) and then later made available to Android.

street fighter IV
street fighter jolt
tekken vs street fighter
clash of clans
monster hunter portable

.....seriously the list goes on...

I just forgotten one important point in my question.

For free games, are there any differences between both OS?

I know for android, don't need to root in order to install games. But I think for apple, need to JB to do same.

free or pirate games?
free games dont need jb/root

Games made for phones can just buy Apple tablets.

DS, GBA, PSX, SNES, N64 games played on emulators can use Android.

I meant to compare apple free games vs android games (all)

choose ios if u wan for gaming only, easy to use. Android more complicated and not suitable for kids

i had smoother experience playing ios games,
less laggy,
will auto pause my game if ppl call me,
ppl can still sms/ wadsapp me while i am still playing the game.

free or not, they still work n play the same...difference is u prefer android or ios only...

huh? i have a 3yo boy who knows how to operate an Asus Transformer tablet.

if for kids,i think both similar...
cos most games that need to pay are likely to be RPG those...
else itll be inapp purchase where u can play without even paying but might not fully enjoy the full feature of the app

But majority of the popular titles have multi platform. But if you're okay with playing on a tablet, then iPad is better (for now). If on phone, iphone's screen is too small in my opinion.

apple la..

but for kids not too sure...some puzzzles only 10% available to try for free...

and need to pay to unlock the next puzzle

if Thinking of getting a tablet for kids' gaming is the reason i would suggest u to buy android instead. wayyy cheaper. can find china tablet sumore.

if budget is really a constraint. ya.... china tablet with android os is an option.

else... its a very bad choice. the specs is simply ridiculous to support android.
android needs a mid range spec to run smoothly, where china tablet wont give that...

i have better experience using ios device compare with android ...
