When the most recent ipad refresh came out I bought one after not having used an ios device since I had an ipod touch years and years ago. Coming from Android I was and still am kind of stunned that there is no way to just see an alphabetical list of all the apps on my device. I finally figured out the gesture to bring up the search but it is still not as good as just have a a list.

The work arounds to get a file system were infuriating and then they added one but directories were tied to apps so I ended up with directories full of files not for that specific app. Finally now they introduced a normal file system.
- wutbrodo 7y agoEvery time Ive touched an ios or os x device over the last decade, I'm shocked at its poor usability. I don't mean that things work differently from what I'm used to; I'll usually ask the owner of the device about it and they'll mention their workflow, and it's usually far clunkier (and then a few years later, ios picks up the feature I was missing to raves from users). Despite not buying the marketing hype, I'd apparently internalized the glowing word of mouth I had gotten a from iPhone and Mac users over the years. Though I guess I've long since reconciled myself to the fact that most people have incredibly low standards for their computing devices.
