Android iOS may be destined to do battle forever, but when it comes to apps, the relationship is a little friendlier. Countless iOS users enjoy ’s services on their iones, in fact, the acclaimed Gboard keyboard actually began its life as an iOS exclusive before making its way to the ay Store several months later.

But while Apple hasn’t been nearly as generous with its offerings, it does offer Apple Music Beats ll as a concession to former Beats Music subscribers. However, there’s a load of untapped potential in the ay Store. After all, Apple doesn’t just sell iones, many Android users have other Cupertino-made products that they use on a regular basis. So here are some Apple apps I’d love to see show up in the ay Store:

Airrt utility

Apple’s routers may be getting a bit long in the tooth, but they’re still kicking around, require very little set-up barely any maintenance. However, they aren’t foolproof, for those times when they need to be reset, Apple offers a hy Airrt Utility app for iOS that lets you manage your networks base stations. It’s not the most powerful tool, but it will solve most problems, it would be helpful to be able to update firmware, tweak settings, renew DHCleases from our Android phones.

Remote

Apple TV is a fantastic digital media receiver with one major shortcoming: Its bundled remote is pretty awful. ether we’re holding it wrong, struggling to enter lengthy passwords, or just forgetting to charge it, more often than not we’re turning to the Remote app to find something to watch. But if you have an Android phone, you’re out of luck. And it doesn’t make much sense. You don’t really need to be fully invested in the Apple ecosystem to buy an Apple TV, so why not throw Android users a bone here? It would make for a better experience might even boost sales.

TV

Speaking of Apple TV, there’s another app that many Android users would rush to download: TV. ile its primary home is on Apple’s set-top box, on the ione it’s a one-stop entertainment shop, with access to all of the movies videos you’ve purchased through iTunes. As it sts, there’s no easy way to watch your DRM-locked iTunes moves TV shows on an Android device without going through a tedious conversion process. A TV app would save us the trouble. 

iCloud Drive

Over the past few version of iOS, iCloud Drive has transformed from a behind-the-scenes file manager into a full-fledged storage locker, letting us transfer files between our iones, ids, Macs with ease. But when we need to go outside the Apple ecosystem, our iCloud Drives are useless. Every other service works across platforms— Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive—but Apple still stubbornly makes us jump through hoops to get our iCloud files onto an Android phone. An iCloud Drive app in the ay Store would make it much more useful— might even give us a reason to pay for extra storage.

Facetime

en Steve bs demoed Facee at the ione 4 event, he promised Apple was “going to the stards bodies, starting tomorrow, we’re going to make Facee an open industry stard.” As we all know, that never happened, Facee remains an exclusive Apple feature. But while Android users are still trying to convince their Apple friends to download Duo, a better solution would be for Apple to make good on its promise open up Facee. Or just release its own version in the ay Store.

Messages

Now, I underst all of the reasons why Apple wouldn’t want to release Messages for the ay Store, but here’s one why it should: spite. has struggled mightily to create a uniform messaging system on Android, with one fell swoop, Apple could undermine their entire effort with any app that not only syncs across all Android phones but also works across all Apple devices, too. If Apple wants to keep some of the cooler features like apps stickers exclusive to the iOS version that’s fine, but even the staunchest ione haters would appreciate a combination SMS over-the-top messaging app on Android that just works.
