Just a few observations, questions and complaints.
takes deep breath
Yeah, don't put the year in the next line or something. Just cut it off.
I assumed that the "Show complete album" button was related to Apple Music, but apparently it's been a part of the Music app for many years. Well, I've been using third-party music apps for a long time, so I didn't know.. In any case: The button does nothing for me. It's a waste of space.
Why does the "Play Later" option sometimes disappear? I don't get it.
Nothing to comment here.
When I tap and hold an artist's name, this popup appears. Tapping it displays the artist's albums in the right pane. So it does the exact same thing as a normal tap on the artist's name. What's the point?
These controls have been part of iOS since iOS 1. A magnifier (optional), then the alphabet, then a hash sign for items starting with numbers. A magnifier, the alphabet, a hash sign. A magnifier, the alphabet, a
hash sign.
The Music app now uses the abbreviation "Nr." instead (Nummer, German for number). Hooray for consistency!
(Nope, it's not a change across the board. The Contacts app, for instance, still uses the hash sign.)
Now, start playing some song, then tap its title in the bottom right corner in order to open the player view. Tap the album name. The album view will slide in from the right. Repeat this a few times. Each time, a new instance of the album view will slide in from the right. So if you now tap the Back button, you'll be returned to the same album, over and over again.
Mess.
But enough of the shitty Music app.
Today, I recorded a video of the cute cat of our neighbor using my phone. Some time later, I wanted to watch it on my iPad. This is how it looks when I open the video in the Photos app:
However, this is how it looks as soon as I start playing the video:
The fuck is this? Oh, and if I keep swiping left and right a few times and then navigate back to this video, it looks like this:
When I start it, it looks like the second picture again. I can't get the full-res video to play on my iPad. It just doesn't work.
You know, Apple's aversion to favicons really pisses me off. (Hi Abed!)
For bookmark folders, why doesn't Safari display the favicons of the contained bookmarks inside the folder icon? They're indistinguishable.
Same thing for the actual bookmarks, of course.
Hi, App Store app. You suck, just like your macOS counterpart. (Had to force-kill it.)
This is a bit random, but what's with the 'A' in the iOS 10 ad?
This happened some time ago. My Notification Center was completely empty. And the lockscreen was.. well, I don't have a picture because some of my widgets showed private information, but the layout of my lockscreen was screwed up. The widgets, date/time text and the search field were all over the place (wrong positions, overlapping). Had to restart the device to fix it.
Speaking of notifications:
Sometimes, when replying to a text message, the notification bubble isn't moved to the top of the screen when the keyboard appears. It's simply squashed, thus making it hard to read the message while typing my response.
..however, discarding the keyboard actually moves it to the top. Great.
