oh boy get ready for another whiny marco bitchfest on the next ATP, but except this time they think their complaints are legit because walt wrote a post and its another datapoint so therefore there must be something there!

siracusa will be there to correct him tho. Also let's be honest there is now a decent amount of Apple software that is garbage

I replaced my used android phone with a 6S and it's nice and all but the normal search app is freaking Fail and Siri is bad too. But there's an iOS version of the google app android uses that does all the same stuff, but not as badly and doesn't have to open (as many) other apps as the Apple one. Anyway thats my Apple AIDS Story. Oh yeah and I'd be way more impressed with Touch ID if it wasn't used as a bandaid for Apple asking me to enter some kind of password every 10 seconds

what's wrong with Mail? they copied the swiping from Mailbox and you can even ask siri to "remind me about this tomorrow"

polymail is a desktop client (for now, they're working on iOS)

i like being able to just two finger swipe to snooze an email (siri reminder doesn't work: i get anxious seeing an undealt-with email in my inbox, and i'm not going to talk to my phone to do it)

all of mail's gestures require swipe + click, this does just swipe.

polymail gives me a nice soothing picture of nature when i hit inbox zero :3:

my ipad doesn't have touch id, so this is super annoying because the dialogs are modal and i can't open keep rear end to copy my password. i have to remember to do it before taking any action that might require my password

actually the reason mail.app works at all is because of the standards Microsoft built for exchange/office 365. mail.app is about the only software apple makes that isn't total garbage and Microsoft is the reason.

lol at an anroid user not understnanding why ios actually asks for passwords instead of just letting anything hijack ur device

why does every single Apple app individually ask for your password?

the first Google app you install on iOS asks for your password and from that point on every other Google app you install pops up a list of configured Google accounts and asks you to pick one or maybe add another if you want

Google's app experience on iOS is literally better than the manufacturer's app experience on their own device

don't forget that random games ask for you Apple password for GameCenter. training your users to type their password into random apps is a real smart move, Apple, good job.

it happened w/ me in game center all the time cause game center was dumb poo poo and I never signed in to it but games would constantly throw it in ur face if it wasn't logged in. also sometimes backups would randomly fail so you had to log back in there. same w/ facetime. ios was real fuckin bad and im glad I don't have to deal with that poo poo anymore.

oh so you're one of those people who when asked for their password just hit "cancel" and then wonder why they are asked for it again later

protip enter your password once and it will stop asking for it

And I know why every iOS component asks for your Apple ID separately -- its a super half-assed way of dealing with people who somehow ended up with multiple Apple IDs and need to use different accounts on the same phone.

But instead of allowing you to merge accounts or building any kind of account picker UI to easily switch between accounts, they just said gently caress it and gently caress them and demand your user name and password a half-dozen times or so at initial phone setup. The why of that is still a mystery. People with multiple Apple IDs are a tiny minority and they chose to ruin the UX for everybody.

yes because gamecenter is a feature I don't want and theres no way to disable it. alternatively, apple could have logged into game center for me using my apple id which I provided when I setup the device.
