I downloaded the app on my iPad, because someone told me it was the new hotness. As soon as I started it, it was fixed to an iPhone window. This was about a year ago. No apps should ever do that. It means the app is crap quality. I nuked it, and forgot about it.

I think Instagram does this to this very day? Your video is something not shared by all.

That explains a lot of the crap I see. Google something very specific like how to setup a testing library? You'll get an article from dev.to with a 3000 word wall of text containing not only a verbose description of what is unit testing and why you should unit test, but also the author's life story and maybe a recipe for mojitos The actual content was a couple of shell commands and like 3 lines of JSON
Worse still are those auto generated spam sites that have an FAQ index on the top of the page looking like a Wiki but are actually just empty content pulled in from multiple sources.

I'm not sure that I'd hold up Instagram as an exemplar of good iOS apps. I've chatted with folks that worked on it.

My life coach works at Chilli's, I can go see them any time between 3 and 7 on weekdays. I can put in a word if anybody wants to respond below. Blue Cross is showing some resistance, but I think they'll come around.
Update: I spoke with Tyler, he says our new meeting place is TGI Fridays but that you're all welcome. He asks that groups of 8 or more call ahead.
"Pitt...said when he was shown the script, he told the Coens he did not know how to play the part because the character was such an idiot: "There was a pause, and then Joel goes...'You'll be fine'."

Isn't it one of the most downloaded apps? Some would say that makes it a good app. I guess your definition can vary but my point is that your criteria clearly does not matter to a large number of users.
It’s hard to argue with “It makes money!”.
As long as people are willing to pay for junk, then there will always be a firehose of junk.
It’s still junk, though; even if it wins.
Almost every project I write is filled with compromise; especially as it nears release, and I always have a powerful urge to rewrite it from scratch, but I don’t feel shame. It’s not junk. It represents a sincere effort to do great work.
That’s one reason that I’m so glad to be out of the rat race, and doing my own thing. I feel dirty, if I am knowingly writing junk. My work is a craft, and a labor of love. I get great personal satisfaction from it. Making money, and “beating the competition,” aren’t even minor factors.
You can’t shovel shit, without getting it on you.

Well, what I mean is that it’s kinda like being upset that people are going to concerts or listening to radio.
Except conversations don’t have to be audio only. Take our exchange right here.
There are a lot of thing's an author would need to be deliberate about communicating in order to relay the same message and context as an audio message. In other words, I would not say an audio-only conversation can be said to be movable to any other medium successfully.
I wish there were better tools for converting audio into other formats you can digest and still obtain all the nuance. It takes a certain kind of energy to communicate verbally, and I can assure you that most people would rather type than speak if the nuances of speech arent relevant to the conversation they are trying to have. ("most" of the newer generations, at least)
