But that link is so small. All buttons are big and chunky, and the link to the full size website is so small. Moreover, you need 2 clicks in order to get to the full version site. I think the app should work exactly the opposite way. Provide full site users expect to see, and provide them with means to switch to the mobile version. The same issue appears in the sites that use Mobify to create mobile versions. Mobify provides a link to the full version of each site, but that link is also located in the footer of the site, and almost nobody will get down there.

I personally prefer the iPhone version though, it's designed for the compact screen and I have no issues with performance.
