To support what VillageChic said, I play on Android and my hurry costs are exactly the same as the iPhone (77, 72, 60, and 48), so don't burst a blood vessel. There are obviously people that have buggy versions somehow, as many people cannot even access the TV Market on Android it seems. That seems hugely unfair, to have to play the game without access to buying resources, doesn't it? So there are bugs that hurt some people randomly, and then there are the vast number of people that all seem to be on a fairly even playing field. Not much we can do about the bugs, but to think it is just the iPhone people getting screwed over is unfair.

Now, as far as the free crystal offers...I have no idea why they have it on Android and not on iPhone. I also don't know why initially there were such huge amounts available for doing fairly simple tasks. I'll freely admit that I took advantage of several 900+ crystal offers. I even spent $2 on some cheap PC game I'll probably never play to get 900+, whereas getting that many now would cost me like $100. I can't explain why those offers were there, or why they still are now (but at vastly reduced rewards) and not on iPhone. But I'm not going to give them back, or feel bad for using them. I haven't "abused" any offers by doing them over and over as someone mentioned, I actually did the tasks they wanted me to do, whether they were worth the reward or not.

If I had to guess, I'd say that it probably has something to do with how draconian Apple is on everything that happens on the iTunes marketplace, and there isn't an easy way for TinyCo to track when you complete them like they can on Android. Without getting into an Apple vs. Android debate, maybe that's the price you pay for using an Apple product? I'm sure TinyCo would love to cross-advertise with other apps like they do with Android (which is essentially what the crystal offers are, advertising), but if Apple won't allow it, not much they can do about it.
