As is the expected answer to your softball there, no, I don&#x27;t keep a list of apps I had issues with in my back pocket. You can choose to disregard my previous post if you&#x27;d like given this shocking revelation, that&#x27;s kind of the point right?<p>I suspect there&#x27;s a solution for every trouble I had, but the point is that after 4 years I don&#x27;t want managing a phone to require that much of my life.<p><i>&gt; I understand that, but this is were we disagree the most. </i><p>Apple isn&#x27;t the USSR, nor a post-USSR bloc state.
