Right and 99.9% of chinese run iOS... A more likely answer is you are just Racist.
I should have been more clear, so let me correct that for you, of 99.9% of those that owned IOS and that downloaded his app - they did not pay for it. For the record it got 4.5 stars with over 800 reviews so it not by all means crap. That is the figure I was given. Given we were talking about mobile, I was using that as my guide for a platform not yet on the market.

China has some of the highest piracy rates in the world—with a piracy rate of 96% in PC software, 93% in motion pictures, and 85% in records and music. [“China Fever” F. Fang 2007, International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) report, Feb. 18. 2010 ]
