I was referring to general public mobile OS usage. (iOS is more popular for tablets, Android for smartphones.) But, if Dish knows how many are using each version of the Dish app, and there are more smartphone users using iOS version, then obviously they should prioritize based on that. Very smart. (The tablet version is a no-brainer, of course.)
Of course, separate version of the Android app for smartphones and tablets isn't necessary, as one Android app can run properly on both, unlike iOS apps.
At present, Android has a majority of the market share when it comes to "mobile devices" by quite a wide margin. (I think it's something like 55% for android vs. 30% for iOS)
However, Apple still dominates in tablets. (although their numbers there are shrinking quite rapidly due to the plethora of very cheap Android tablets that have come out lately)
I'd be willing to bet that Dish has more customers using iOS devices than Android - but that's only because their Android app is a piece of poop, in my opinion.
They have more iOS users than Android which is most likely why apps roll out in the manner that they do. I'm sure the info about more Android users in the market is accurate, but Dish has more iOS users at present.

Depends on how you count but this reports iPads still have 87% of the tablet internet usage. Amazon Kindle comes in second.

I've been playing around a bit with it this afternoon. I don't know how much I will use it but it is an easy way to see and search the guide. My taste in tv doesn't seem to match the "what's hot" section. It is much nicer looking than the other app.
I'm getting an error as well. I can't seem to get much of anything to work on the app. Guide won't load or anything.
The channel for my guide will load down the left hand side of the screen, but no programs show up.

Go to the dvr option and choose the one you want to use and enter the confirmation code which will appear on the TV. I have 2 Hoppers and I'm able to connect to both.
Try hitting the sync hopper button. Otherwise try closing and reopening the app.
