Hi, This is just one of the things that you're more or less going to have to live with if you have an Apple device I'm afraid. At the moment you can choose between great accessibility or total freedom - E.G. iOS or Android but you can't have both. Whilst the openness of Android does appeal to me, I use my iPhone for so many more things than a phone these days so I need it to be reliable and I just haven't found an Android device that can offer me the same things that an iPhone can. I don't want this to get into a flame war - infact, I think we've pretty much said everything that needs to be said about downgrading now.
