I'd like to point out that android came out well after the iPhone, so logically every android app was released after it was available on iOS. Im not sure what your point is with that.

The Netflix iOS app has only been out for about a year now, yet there still is no Android version available. The official Twitter app was released for iOS weeks before it was released for Android. The Kindle Android app has only been out for for about 9 months now, but has been available for iOS for 2 years now (Android was around 2 years ago).
My point is that for over a year now, we've been hearing how Android apps are going to catch up to, and ever surpass, iOS apps. We've been hearing over and over how it's just a matter of months before it happens.
The truth is, it hasn't happened, and there's nothing to indicate that's it going to happen anytime soon. Maybe eventually, but certainly not in a matter of months.
For the most part, currently any organization who doesn't have a bias toward Android and is worth their salt is going to focus on their iOS app first. The Android app will either come at the same time, or after. Not before though. The fact of the matter is that iOS is currently at the top of the food chain and that's not going to change "in a matter of months".
