How come icloud.com sucks so much?


For example, the Notes web app is full of bugs and missing features compared to the native app, and they've been unaddressed for years now (I don't think there's the need to list them here).

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'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.

That's it.

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