Dear @mrjones,
Thank you for your valuable insights on the topic. To add further clarity, I would like to share some observations based on recent data and field experiences.
As you mentioned:
This aligns with the data I recently found online. During our field training sessions, we observed that, on average, 3 out of 10 users are iPhone owners, and they frequently inquire about iOS-compatible applications. This highlights the growing need for iOS app development to cater to this user base.
In the past, our SMS-based solutions were universally accessible, as they only required basic phone functionality. However, with the recent deployment and ongoing implementation of the CHT application for health workers, we are encouraging the use of personal devices, including both Android and iPhone. While Android users can easily download the app from the Play Store, iPhone users face challenges due to the unavailability of the app on the App Store. This gap has made the need for an iOS-compatible app increasingly apparent, both for us and our users.
I hope this provides a clearer picture of the current scenario. Please let me know if you need any additional information or further clarification.
Thank you!
