I tap the input for the dollar amount, I am presented with the default keyboard. Very crappy for entering dollar amounts. Web app.

<input type="number">

I seriously don't get why more developers don't use it.

If I remember correctly the support for the decimal separator is a mess between Android and iOS, I think it was so that iOS defaults to comma and Android to a dot which makes is difficult to write any cross-browser code with input-type number if it has to handle decimal numbers as well.
Surely these advanced operating system environments allow you to localise decimal separators?
The last pic in the article says they did exactly that.
