Hey Cono, Nope, it's not possible to please all Android users. Nor is it possible to please all iOS users. Or BlackBerry users. Or a gajillion other users who don't appreciate all the hard work it takes to make an app! Complaints like the one you got without any data to help you fix it...like Android version...are completely unhelpful. Android is particularly difficult to design for because of the fragmentation in the number of versions of Android out there. If you can contact the user, ask them for more info. Otherwise, realize that less than 1% of your users have complained, and just let it roll. Mark

@ceerup Google the phrase Android Fragmentation you'll see why Apple's walled garden works!

Because I only have one android device for testing I ask people I know with android phones to download apps in front of me. If they do have problems, they tend to blame their own phone instead of my app. So there may be more forgiveness from android users since they don't tend to attribute problems to the developer.
