Comment on Apple Maps will finally be getting offline downloads
ribboo@lemm.ee 1 year agoThat it just works does not mean I’m bound to Apple apps only. It just works includes having fantastic third party apps that do the job when Apples are lacking.
Calendar, maps, music, password manager and the likes are such for me. But it still “just works”.
Missing features at OS level is one thing. But missing features in a goddamn app, when there are alternatives? Common…

I think part of the “it just works” definition is the default apps should work without missing features, however you’re not wrong, alternatives so exist.

Fair enough. Guess we just have different views when it comes to that then.
For me “it just works” is much more about the OS. Sending files between my Apple devices, browsers and files syncing, having my Airpods switch from phone to Apple TV with the press of a button/automatically, face-id not failing 50% of the time, the watch works when I speak to it and does what I want it to.
These are by no means crazy and things, but I struggle daily at work with my none Apple headset, the windows computer, my android phone. It just “does not work” smoothly. And they all sync horribly with each other for some reason.

I agree, the features apple does implement do tend to be more polished or at the very least not annoying to the user.
