I stopped using Apple Podcasts because I have to scroll endlessly to find older episodes of my podcasts. One of them has over a thousand episodes, and there’s no way to filter or search within it. Why can’t they just add simple features like that? Every app is missing stuff like that, they are in a complete mess when it comes to basic usability.
I want to know who the idiot was that decided to remove Tab navigation from the iOS apps. The stupid idea of scrolling down forever to find something is completely foolish.
We really have gone backwards with interface design and navigation.
When the original iPad Touch launched, I recall being able to customise the Tab bar in the Music app to have whatever I wanted on it. You could swap out anything. For example, you could remove Radio and replace it with Genre, or Albums, Artists, whatever you wanted, it was an option.
Apple Music's navigation is a complete **** show. Nearly impossible to find something, with the exception of searching for an exact song/artist name.
Some idiot decided to remove the "Rooms" button from the Tab bar in the Home app, however they added "Discover" which is completely useless. Again, why not allow me to assign app sections to the Tab bar?
And as we know, some other clown decided to remove useful navigation sections from the Tab bar in the Photos app.
As you mentioned, apps are still missing basic features like inline search/filter functions. Being able to jump to a page number/section, etc.
Navigating in the Fitness+ app is also a complete mess as a result.
Someone at Apple obviously has a huge hard-on for infinite scrolling.
Lucky I don't live close to Apple HQ, as I’d have a sore hand from slapping some sense into people.
