Please, stop doing this with android players!

Every single update it's the same old problem. iOS players get the update and everything it's just so happy, but we, android players, we stay just looking, verifying the Play Store all the time, and nothing happens. In last update, we have to wait FOUR days until finally receive the update. I just don't understand that, 'cause a few updates ago all the platforms received the update in the same time, or with a few hours of difference.
It is just disrespected, seriously.
(sorry my bad english, anyway)

    I'm trying to imagine what might be causing the staggered rollouts. I just can't believe that Glu is doing things this way on purpose or without caring about people's reactions. They've shown many times that they listen to our complaints and address them whenever possible. It feels like there's some complication that keeps dogging the updates lately...

    My company has it's own iphone and android apps, and honestly a lot of times it is slowness on google's part in approving the updates. We always aim to have them both live on the same day but quite often it's ios that is live first :(

    Thanks for that info, Ali! That unfortunately makes perfect sense...

    And in that case, Glu might not do well by throwing its partners under the bus, which may be why they don't issue an explanation.

    Ali,

    That makes a lot of sense. but if that's the case and it's a continuous and known problem (for any company, not just Glu) , why not send the Google update out early to accommodate and offset their approval process?

    Even if the number of days for Google approval varies, I'm sure it would be safe to send it out ahead of iOS if you base it on the average amount of time it normally takes.

    It's not a good look to have paying customers upset and frustrated with every update.

    It might be annoying to get updates later but being angry is a bit much. Its originally an iOS game, it'll just take more time to branch out its updates

    KKH and Stardom were available on Android and iOS at the same time.

    It's more annoying and frustration than anger. If it were anger, we wouldn't continue to play and chat.

    I get why you can't relate bcuz you haven't been in our shoes you've always gotten the updates and the exclusive Red event.

    This issue has become too sensitive for people to discuss patiently. That's too bad.

    Deliberately staggering your own releases while trying to guess another company's behavior seems like it would elicit complaints, too.

    Sorry people have to wait!

    Yes **** Google. They want to rule the world, and do so by forcing too much **** down people's throats.. Google Search is wonderful, but that doesn't mean I want you to link every question that pops into my head into every screen I ever visit. Ok, no sense coming from my yet unsated coffee hole. But let's blame Google. They are the Bastids that did this. Eff em. Eff em I say. Stop tracking me on my own **** computer you stupid meglamaniacal braintrust.

    I can see it being their fault.
    If you are having trouble DO NOT UNINSTALL THE GAME!

    Now tell me how you loooooooove the new update, and I can't enjoy it yet.
    Easy to say those things when you're not going through this, right? I'm not angry, I just want an explanation. If you can not help me, then not say things you don't know for sure. Sorry.

    Thank you Daphy I agree with everything you just said. Glu has stated already that it is on Google Play's end. Second, it is just a game.

    I don't believe I'm reading this!

    In fact this is a game, but there are people playing and you can't dictate how people should or shouldn't feel about this or any other object / person / animal / thing / whatever.

    Basically you're saying that people don't need to get too attached because it's no big deal. I'm glad you never gets attached to nothing in your life, then you don't need go through the feelings of loss, anxiety, waiting and can come here and show how evolved you're as a person.

    I don't mind waiting, I'm not mad at it now, and I think some people certainly exaggerate, but this is a forum and people have the right to express anything they're feeling. So let's try not suppress the feelings of others!

    it's amazing how only certain people around here are allowed to express an opinion without being told to should shut up. yet those same people do the most complaining.

    When I created this thread, I just wanted an explanation, not people who are happy with they update telling me to calm down. Believe me, it's nothing helping at all. So... Go away.
    And yessss, Vats, we really read this. Sad, right?
    But sorry, I don't wanna fight, just want my update. Good night!

    I'm sure that they release the update for both platforms at the same time it's not a Glu problem it's a Google Play problem.

    It's kinda funny we kinda sound like KKH junkies.

    Not having the update available on all platforms at the same time is like only releasing the iPhone on Sprint, but you have AT&T or like only having Grand Theft Auto for PlayStation and not Xbox.

    Yes, its just a game...No its not the end of the world, Sure we'll get the update eventually but KKH is a community (we have all complained about something at some point in time) and a game we enjoy playing and discussing our highs and lows everyday.
