An Android user reviews Apple’s iPad Air 2

An Android user on Reddit recently took the bold step of reviewing the iPad Air 2 on the Apple subreddit. It’s always interesting to see what dedicated users of one mobile platform think of the other once they dig in and get a chance to use it in a hands-on way. The reviewer was careful to offer numerous pros and cons about the iPad Air 2.

Intuition17 enjoyed the performance, screen and multitasking gestures on the iPad Air 2, but noticed that some apps crashed and the iPad Air 2 froze at times:

Performance on this tablet is absolutely incredible. Everything feels so damn smooth and responsive. Scrolling anywhere is much smoother than on my previous tablets and I always loved this about my mom’s iPad and iPhone. After jailbreaking and installing the NoSlowAnimations tweak and turning off the animations completely, I don’t think there is anything else on the market as far as tablets or phones that can keep up with this device. Things load IMMEDIATELY or go to the splash screen immediately. This thing is a speed demon. The one thing I would like is that while scrolling IS very smooth, I like the way Android lets you swipe the screen up or down and scroll up or down very quickly. Tapping the notification bar on iOS to go to the top is nice (also possible via xposed on Android, but it works better natively on iOS), but I would like a way to scroll downwards quickly as well.
