Huh. I had an iPad until sometime last year so maybe this happened before that. I honestly haven't minded the mobile interface for it, but I see how that interface would be nice to have.
Unfortunately, Android tablets are NOT well supported in many applications. Facebook is a train wreck, jumping back and forth between phone mode and full screen, and crashing (or jumping back to the top of the feed) when I click on certain things - like any Facebook Marketplace item. And it occasionally completely crashes. Many apps are "phone mode" only, but at least those work, even if they're not visually efficient - this included many reddit apps. Jerboa is working well, at least, though it's essentially a widescreen phone app. (I'm hoping Boost for Lemmy comes soon. That's what I used for reddit.)
I honestly am not sure I'd buy another Android tablet right now. The lack of support is irritating sometimes. I know I'd be contributing to the issue by not using Android, but...
