Ask HN: How come icloud.com sucks so much?

2 pointsby juniperplantalmost 3 years ago
For example, the Notes web app is full of bugs and missing features compared to the native app, and they&#x27;ve been unaddressed for years now (I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s the need to list them here).<p>I mean, it may sound like whataboutism, but Apple makes hundreds of billions a year, how can this be utterly ignored? Is it just another instance of Apple&#x27;s insistence on walled gardening?

It’s handy for registering an iCloud account. I hate registering anything on a phone because I have bad dexterity and am crap at filling in forms on a phone. I disable all iCloud features anyway since I don’t want anything stored there. My notes are actually quite sensitive and I like to keep them away from prying eyes!

My guess is that Apple dont give a damn about their web stuff (and some Mac app too like Apple music) ,AppStoreConnect is even worse

iCloud.com has ever been good for just one thing: Find My Device from whatever computer.<p>That&#x27;s it.

No pressure of competition to improve it so it stays shit.
