wrong.

a simple search doesn't mean anything. what you found are crap because
of audio latencies inherent to android. 

the latencies re getting better, but it still is worse than on ios,
which is why the best audio apps are on ios, not android, even using
old year old ios hardware (i.e., not top of the line).

  Results compiled by Nervous Systems using data collected by the
  SuperPowered measurement application, which we talked about before,
  show that the most popular Android handsets are still far too slow at
  providing a round-trip from jack/mic to speaker for real-time audio
  processing. The results from the 20 most popular phones can be seen
  below.

  Unfortunately, iOS has always been way ahead of Android in terms of
  audio latency. Even iOS devices as old as the iPhone 4S (and much
  older) have average latency levels of about 7 ms. That's fifty times
  less than the average latency for Android devices in 2011. That much
  of a difference can easily translate to a comparatively horrible
  experience on Android, to the point where it simply became comically
  bad. In the video below, you can see a comparison of two drum
  kit apps running on both an iPad and an Android tablet on Ice Cream
  Sandwich. Listen out for the lag between the tap on the screen and
  the sound of the snare and cymbals.

they don't compare. period.
