"Apps" app is one of the worst things in entire macOS history - and whoever was responsible for it should never engineer anything again
Many people like the “Apps” app solely because it finally removed Launchpad. But the app itself is unrealistically buggy. Funny part - it had NO fixes in almost a year. Almost 0 in 300 days by a trillion dollar company.
The list:
- Laggy animation upon opening
- All icons have to reindex upon reopening, each icon taking ~0.3s to load
- Lags when scrolling
- Search does not work for most
- Categories do not display the right apps
- It still shows apps that you hide within the system
On top:
- It displays duplicates for "recent" and "all"
- Nothing can be hidden
- Nothing can be rearranged
- Nothing can be grouped
- Nothing can be renamed
- Nothing can be pinned
- It can not be resized
Even a person with $0.50 budget and a free chatGPT plan would've made a better app, probably within 5 minutes. Trillion dollar company couldn't do it even in 1 year. And yes, most of you use "spotlight", and the right way to use macOS is to pin the "Applications" folder to the dock - yadayadayda. That still does not explain this mess.
