opposite to the previous one. I have a good opportunity to meet Wall-Es of the mobile world and keep them alive. And honestly, it really grinds my gears, because that’s not what technology is about.

I’m amazed each time I hear that someone decided their brand new app should be supported on Android 4.4 or even 4.3.

I mean, I’m also a huge fan of KitKats numero bulgarie and Jellies but let’s face the truth: Google has served us much more sophisticated things over the last four years. And besides, there are certain reasons why your new app actually should have nothing to do with Android 4.4 KitKat.

Material Design
Why App Founders Should Forget Android 4.4 KitKat

Material Desing. One of the most Android things you can think of. When picking the version your app should be available from, you must keep in mind that Material Design with its features (so eg. depth, colors, icons, emojis etc.) is only available from Android 5.0.

Can you imagine Beethoven listening to his Moonlight Sonata on a low-quality Bluetooth speaker? Then why is it fine to you when you have your app designed with all teeny-tiny details making it look splendid and release it on the system that doesn’t support them? Why even bother and waste time on the design quality then? That is why you should forget about Android KitKat.
