Where are my apps in the new iTunes?
iTunes seem to have update itself and now my Apps have disappeared. Where are my apps in the new iTunes (v 12.7.0.166)?

Thank you all for clarifying this.
To Apple's software developers - this is literally THE DUMBEST and most ridiculous decision you guys have made. I assume Jonny Ives had nothing to do with this UI change - I'm an industrial designer myself and any self-respecting designer would never do something stupid like that. The ability to manage apps in Itunes, on my desktop, with my mouse on a large monitor wasn't just a great feature, it was essential, expected, and natural. Remember guys - when you release new updates you're supposed to make your product BETTER, NOT WORSE. You've just made it decidedly worse. And to add insult to injury, you've totally skipped any notices, explanations or anything to just clue in millions of us who updated Itunes that app management feature is gone. Talk about missing Steve Jobs' thinking when you need it.
I know this is old business, but I haven't seen any rollback from Apple. What a load of crap! Apple continues to make more money while being less sensitive to its customers' needs!
agreed. Many of us would like this back. I have provided feedback on this to Apple on their feedback site. It would be helpful if others do the same.
Regardless of whether you want to check on the use off apps, how the **** is anyone going to re-install all prior apps upon upgrading their phone to the next model? Disgusted.
When you restore a backup of your old device to a new device all of the compatible apps will be installed too. They are are queued up for direct download from the App Store over Wi-Fi.

Aw shucks. 😊

Actually, transferring apps to a new device is not the same as managing your apps... which happens to be the topic for this thread.
You're welcome. 🙂
With the current 12.6.3/4 versions you would also need to (temporarily) upgrade to 12.7.x if you needed to use iTunes to restore or upgrade a device.

I sent this as an iTunes feedback.
Only posted it here to hopefully inspire others to do the same (feedback on iTunes)
And I sent feedback thanking Apple for uncluttering the iTunes UI.
However, the post I responded to was from a user who wanted to transfer apps from an old to a new phone And didn’t know how to do it.
Well good for you Laurence.
I guess it would be too much clutter for some with one extra line on the menu, leading to a helpfull feature.
Didn't see this post before sending the response below.
But, I still understand that you found it to be too much clutter ???? with a link to that fearture?
Moving too fast here, as I am in the middle of other tasks.
Thought I was replying to Laurence, did not first notice the post was from you IdrisSeabright. Hope you can make sense of it.
By all means, congratulate and suggest what you want, but why tell me about it?
Fair enough.
