really seems to me like when people say "ios has better apps than android" they're only referring to commercial/corporate offerings like snapchat and instagram
because lemme tell ya, i have not been able to find any good productivity apps for ios at *all* in the past week. no truly good email/xmpp/masto/calendar+tasks/etc apps at all. sure, some are passable, decent even. but not what i would call "good".
even apps like inoreader which i use for rss are... awkward to use? and that's not entirely from the app itself, i feel... a big part is how ios is designed.
example: to mark an article as read, why do i have to swipe all the way across the screen? my finger gets tired. a swipe action shouldn't be that long, but every single ios app has the "long swipe" paradigm.
@trwnh now I finally get why I accidentally swipe stuff in Android all the time ugh I've literally accidentally deleted emails and then missed the "undo" popup
@trwnh (I'm coming from iOS but I had an iPhone 5 where there isn't too much screen to swipe across)
@noiob i mean i'm using an SE which is basically a 5S body which was mostly same as the 5, but it's still just a little too much for me. to be fair it's harder to accidentally swipe when you have to swipe the entire screen almost, but i still prefer shorter swipes. especially for reversible actions like read/unread, fave/unfave.
@trwnh I tried Gmail and didn't like it, can't remember why tbh
@trwnh wtf they changed everything since I last used it
@noiob yeah they tend to do that
update before last was pretty good. the new hollow icons and blinding whiteness of google material was a downgrade imo, but it's only an aesthetic change so the functionality is still the same
@noiob wish i could recommend k9 mail but eh i use gmail for android, which is sadly still the best email app on any platform despite getting worse recently
