The very fact that these are the top grossing apps signals just how good they are at vacuuming money out of pockets. “Games” of this sort make me embarrassed for games as a medium. You can buy a $99.99 dose of fake money in Texas Poker (with no possibility of, uh, winning any money back.) For shame.
I couldn’t agree more.
There is is. My current iPhone home screen. It is a bit of a shame it is all going to change sometime right after I post this.
See here is the deal, I have come to believe that the only icons that should be on the first screen are the ones you really use. And by use I mean at least once a week and ideally several times a day. And while I can say for certain that applies to many of the apps that you see in this screenshot, others I am less sure about.
Therefore, here is the plan. With the exception of those in the “dock” area (Phone, Mail, Messages, and Safari) which I consider crucial to the entire point of even having an iPhone, I am going to clear everything from the home screen. Any apps that get accessed more than once in the course of the next week will be allowed to come back. Why more than once? Well, that disqualifies any anomalies (i.e I need to use this one thing out of the blue this particular week even though I rarely use it).
I will post next week to show you what remains.
Great initiative. It made me curious about my own homescreen. I’ve posted my homescreen before. I have some OCD tendencies sometimes and therefor organize everything by color. Going to follow this initiative and clean up my homescreen as-well. Look for the result next week.
