Hello ROBLOXians! Today, I will once again, recommend ROBLOX creating itself for Android.
First off, I will list why this may not work (to be fair): Compiler/Converter may need to be updated if Android uses a different programming language then ROBLOX does
If they do not update it or they "can't" figure out how, they would need to reprogram it for Android creating pre-versions much like Minecraft for Xbox.
They may not be able to get it on Google Play (Feel free to list more in the comments)
HOWEVER, this is why it WILL work: Many people use Android (KitKat, JellyBean, etc.) rather than iOS because certain phones cost less and are more user friendly or they just like them better. This would help ROBLOX by adding a ton of users & making more users on per day (if that helps...).
More people would buy Builders Club because they would play more.
If they don't, they probably will go on the websites thus making ROBLOX gain a view for an ad, giving them like 0.0001$ xD. (This will add up though, I don't know actually how much they make per view.) (Feel free to list more in the comments)
--> Tl;DR there are various reasons why ROBLOX should support Android. <--
If you're going to comment support/no support please leave a reason, as it will help this thread and the general idea. Also, ROBLOX has asked if they should support Android in a poll, so it's not like this is new to them or they haven't thought about it. |

| Support. ROBLOX obviously doesn't have anything useful planned, so why not do this instead? |

@ballofwhacks Thank you for your support. The only thing they're doing right now is the BLOXcon (or at least all I see them doing), perhaps they can support Android after that... or even better, they can support it now to show off in their BLOXcon. |

@qaswzx5514
I don't think they are because when they were making it for iOS, they announced like 5 blogs about it. |

| Most Android apps are made with Java. Roblox is made with C++ |

Thanks for all the support guys!
@SuperMarioIsAwesome Java is based off of or created by C or C++, so C++ can probably be compiled to Java, plus for iOS you have to use Obj-C which from my knowledge is like very different from most programming languages in syntax, so it will probably be easier to convert C++ to Java. |

Thanks for all the support and info guys!
@trisrockalt Android is beyond capable, especially if iPhone can do it. Just my opinion(averted a flame war) |

| ROBLOX have already indicated that they will not be moving over to any other OS' until such a time they complete the iOS app to a certain extent (level streaming, perhaps? I've forgotten). |
