I wish somewhere on their site or anywhere in that description they'd say "Android App".

I was a little disappointed as an iOS user browsing their site trying to find the iOS App Store link ๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

Apple actively sabotages projects like this one. You're using the wrong phone.

All you can hope is that some day they are forced to support 3rd party apps because of some anti monopoly lawsuit telling them they have too.

But good luck with that, Apple is very powerful and can probably just buy out the right lawyers and judges in that situation.

Or if they were forced to it would have an Apple twist on it like they get to approve the 3rd party app stores that are allowed or something.

Just get an Android phone you can put a custom ROM on and you'll have a very good experience.
