APP Store - Bike Blackspot
Bike Blackspot what a great idea. I thought I'll download this I can hardly wait, so off I go following the links and what do i find it's a flippin Trojan Horse - I don't want iTunes.
How many others feel this way???

No, it is political sectarianism within the computer enthusiast scene spilling over to here. OP is upset that the application is only available to iOS devices. Their claim is that Apple Software is toxic, and therefore an application that might be useful, but requires iOS is a "Trojan" because it "forces" users to use Apple software.
To a certain extent the OP is right—the application should be available to Android users also. To a certain extent they're engaged in bland trolling disconnected to this forum's purpose.

A great App but why would I want iTunes. If you can download the App without the iTunes then I would love to know where.

Directly on the phone?
I imagine the developers won't be happy with their app being described as a trojan.
