[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1862826, member: 204485"] Yes, as far as I can see it is set up entirely on the App Store classifications. Something I have not really paid much attention to in the past. Most of the classifications are logical and self explanatory; Entertainment has media apps like TV channels, music apps like Spotify and TuneIn Radio no problem there. Social is self explanatory. Productivity and Finance is a big folder but I have no problem with my bank apps being grouped with MS Word and Acrobat Reader but I would have expected Contacts to be in Social. The alphabetic order makes it easy to find what I want should I need to scroll and often I don't need to scroll. Creativity has all my photographic apps as well as the Photos App but I don't understand why VLC is there while VLC Remote is in Entertainment. Lastly I have a folder (classification) called Test Flight, in it is the only beta version I'm currently testing, ExpressVPN. I would have expected the Test Flight App to be there as well but no, it's in utilities. Fair enough I suppose, that's what it is it, just takes a little getting used to. All up I like it, I used to have 7 home screens and was constantly shuffling the apps around now I have 3 (including the Library). This was partly because I trial a lot of apps, both for myself and others. I recently downloaded and trialled 5 "medication" apps. They drop into the next vacant space when downloaded which is not always convenient so I found myself reorganising my screens a lot. Now they will all end up in one classification so I don't need to worry about moving them around or what screen they ended up on and I can delete them directly from the Library. [/QUOTE]
