Most used apps on the first screen, everything else everywhere else, I did put everything in folders over the weekend but ended up resetting the home screen, it was just too organized. I use SIRI app search to find what I need.
Got a tip for us?

Like many others here, I use category folders. But I also use as few apps as possible in favor of going directly to the associated website. I don't do social media, so that cuts down on a lot of apps. And I'm concerned about the vast morass of privacy violations from many apps, too, so I keep the number of apps I use to a minimum. And I periodically clear out any apps that I haven't used in a while. People seem to forget about that and their phones get cluttered up as a result.
But from so many of the screenshots shown here, people use calculator apps, as I do. It makes me wonder why Apple doesn't have one of their own.

This thread’s prompted me to get things organised, so I’ve now got 3 pages of Apps, arranged by Primary Apps, Secondary Apps & then Folders sorted alphabetically...
Widgets - Weather, Universal Remote controls, Regularly used Shortcut, Google Assistant & Batteries...
Page 1:
First three rows - Tier 3 regular used Apps, some still in their factory position, so I know where to find them without thinking.
Fourth row - Music, Universal remote control & video Apps.
Fifth row - Tier 2 regular used Apps.
Sixth row - Trial row for new Apps, which will stay there if they prove handy.
Dock - Tier 1 regular used Apps. Note the two browser are directly placed onto each other, as I switch between them regularly.
Page 2:
Top row - Online Shopping, Primary parcel delivery company in my country, Bank App.
Second row - TV/Movie Folder. Speed Test App (I’m constantly checking cellular speeds in my travels). Then current sports I follow (these alter, depending on time of year)
Third row - Petrol saver App.

Much obliged. I’ll drop the wallpaper here (original for the iPad), but if it turns out compressed, see link below!...

Stresses me out seeing 789 unread emails.....
First page is of my frequently used apps. Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Lloyds Bank, WhatsApp, WWE etc. Second page i've got a few folders based on genre.... And then it becomes messy. 6 pages of random apps, majority I never use anymore haha!
I liked one of the ideas posted here.. Category folder to the left and 3 frequently used apps from that category to the right.. here are my two screens..
This is just a snippet. I actually have over 10k unread emails if I added all my accounts. I just don’t want to be bombarded on my phone so I try to keep it at minimal. I would be stressed out if they were all from my work email but they aren’t 😂
I have a folder for restaurants (Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Chipotle, etc.) and a folder called Retail for store rewards like CVS, Costco, Whole Foods, T-Mobile Tuesdays.
What health apps do you have in that health folder?

I wouldn't be able to sleep if I had 1 notification, that means work not done! 700+ unread emails is just insane!

Apple Flat Design Apps, 1st Page:
Skeuomorphic Apps/Icons, 2nd Page:
Third Party Flat Design Apps, 3rd Page:
Still a fan and prefer Skeuomorphism, though. harder today to find such apps on the store.
