Hate: Apps Still Don’t Support iPad Like They Should
iPadOS is the lame duck of the Apple software ecosystem. It’s been languishing for years, and yet it still can’t keep up with either macOS or iOS in terms of functionality. Stage manager can work for multitasking, but it’s not great. Nor is Split View. And that’s when you try to use some of those apps you need for work, like Google Docs or Slack. I’ve encountered more hiccups on Slack in just a week of use on iPad than I have in years on either Mac or PC. Docs don’t let you copy and paste with formatting. And don’t even get me started on Instagram or other Meta apps employing the iOS version rather than crafting something that works well on a larger screen. We’ll see if WWDC next month bears any surprises, but for now, it’s a sore point.
