Funny how an Apple consumer is advocating for a "fiddly" solution. I only use linux, but I was actually inspired by the Apple philosophy in this. A one-button, no-nonsense solution.
I have been in and out of the Apple ecosystem, now with a foot in both sides. In this specific case, I still prefer the iOS app over the alternatives I've been trying on android for instance.
I think there is something to say about the sheer money size of the iOS ecosystem that allowed talented devs to get a decent ROI, even on niche apps.
I am happy with an android phone, but only because I also keep other iOS devices around for when I really miss some apps. And it seems a lot of people are on the same boat, looking at iOS apps as unitaskers that they'll chain and shoehorn into workflows that fit their needs, more than as "just works" magic tools.
