Nextappsdfix app fix these ext sdcard issues on Kitkat.
Plat store update lousy? Don't think so as I had been using Android past 7 years with iPhone thrown in between. This has never been an issue with me. Had no problem w Android app either. Maybe iphone games app more superior but than I don't play games on my gadgets
Anyway I am just pointing out functionality of iOS is limited n not saying iOS is worse than Android. Each has its pro n con. Just stick w that meets your needs best. I am using both IOS ( ip6+) n Android now.
