iPadOS 15 Home Screen

5 columns in portrait and 6 columns in landscape. How stupid can you do things. I don’t use widgets but when I change from portrait to landscape mode the app icons are not in their usual place anymore. This is very confusing AND stupid software developing.

70% of the time I use portrait, so when I switch to landscape I have to “search” where my app is.

But you can’t just casually place them where ever one wants. That option doesn’t exist at all. If you think it does, then wow. Just wow.

Some of us like a more organized, not chaotic screen. I also don’t want to swipe right to see what would have been in my “Today View”….I’m ADD….that’s literally the last place I’m going to look.

AND if you add a new app icon or widget to the homescreen….its not like tetris where you fit it all back together, various blocks, simple puzzling…actually soothe…it’s like 52 card pickup and someone continually tossing the cards in the air, with another on the floor mixing them all around like “where’s the queen” and you’re intoxicated……it’s INSANE. Whoever generated this idea at apple…should be fired.

Change is inevitable.

As the whole world has recently seen.

Can you get rid of all of them? I have none now on iOS 14 - I don't need nor do I want any. The app icons are already more than I want, but tolerable. If not, I will not upgrade.

Change is Change It is neither intrinsically good or bad.

I can arrange widgets any way I wish, EXCEPT the way they were in iOS14. No, the new widgets feature is not better, at least for me. I liked the widgets being hidden unless I wanted to look at them.

Every time Apple does a numerical release you change a feature that we’ve gotten used to, don’t allow a way to make it the way we like, and then tell us it’s better. At least you left a way to put the Safari address bar back where it belongs. I suppose I should count my blessings.
