Mail, Camera, Clock and Cal all do the trick, though Cal needs a little useabulity love to make it a more effiecnt app to use. Safari and Calculator are minimal and get the job done. Podcasts is better than Overcast, I like Music far more than ever since the redesign in iOS 10: I actually think iOS 10 in general is the best designed iOS since iOS 6-speaks well for Alan Dye. Apple has some great apps on iOS actually. Notes does everything I need from a note app.

Their apps used to work smooth as glass, for the most part, so I’m baffled by this gargantuan series of missteps. The Web Clipper extension malfunctions, the macOS current app release is buggy, and now they’ve ruined the iOS app. They say they are going to quash all these bugs “in the next release,” but there’s no excuse for this dumpster fire. Would you buy a car that had this many issues? Their customers are not supposed to be the beta testers unless they signed up to be beta testers. They’re charging enough to to have a superb software development teams. I don’t know why modern software companies don’t do thorough QA and field testing any more, and I’m not going to support their lunacy with my money. If they don’t have this all settled at the end of that time, I’m gone. The Apple Notes app is far from up to snuff as well.) Evernote extended my Premium subscription for free for three months. (For the record, I think OneNote is beyond sucky, so I don’t know what else I’d use. (I’ve been a paid subscriber from the beginning) that along with the logs they requested I send them, I promised to quit the service completely and move elsewhere. I was so angry at being served this platter of b.s. Take a look at the reviews and comments on the Evernote forums as well as in the iTunes App Store. Oh, and the overall sluggishness that wasn’t present before.

This iOS update is an abortion, from the Jony-Ives minimalist UI for 2-year-olds that now wastes all kinds of screen space, the elimination of features on down to the baffling requirement to keep signing in to the app with my iCloud password for no reason at all. The author of this schmooze piece is clearly on drugs.
